According to a University of Tennessee Police Department spokesperson, 18 arrests and 47 ejections resulted from a contentious call at the end of Saturday's match between SEC foes Tennessee and Ole Miss. The spokesperson did not mention how many of the arrests or ejections were students.
After Tennessee's fourth down attempt was reviewed to be a yard short, fans hurled beverages, pizza boxes, golf balls, and other garbage onto the Neyland Stadium field which caused a 20 minute delay. Most of the items were tossed from the student section.
Chancellor Donde Plowman said on Sunday that the UTPD were investigating who threw the projectiles and any students found responsible could face bans from future games.
