It wouldn't be rivalry week without a bench-clearing shoving match, and that's exactly what happened between NC State and North Carolina.

The fight -- if you want to throw it under that umbrella -- started because of a bizarre play during NC State's offensive possession in the middle of the second quarter. Quarterback Ryan Finley's pass appeared to be completed to Matthew Dayes, who was then stripped of the ball. A scrum began as players from each side tried to recover the would-be fumble.
