University of Miami football is in the midst of a renaissance. The U is currently a perfect 9-0 after blowing out third-ranked Notre Dame 41-8 on Saturday night, and figures to be in a prime position to make the College Football Playoff if they can reel off a few more wins. But for the second straight week, their game was marred by a violent incident in the stands.
In the video above (via 5th Year), you can see a rowdy group of fans representing Miami and Notre Dame — two longtime rivals — furiously throwing down in the concourse of Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
The most violent part of the brief clip begins at the 12 second mark. There, a Notre Dame fan (wearing that team’s green), who had been fighting with someone else, jumps in on another skirmish and hits a Miami fan in the back of the head. Then, a Miami fan (sporting his team’s orange) jumps in from nowhere, and clocks that Notre Dame fan with a right hand shot. Almost instantly, that Miami fan pays the price — as another Notre Dame supporter absolutely clocks the guy with a vicious right hand of his own.
The scuffle comes one week after a fan slapped a police officer as she was being removed from the stadium for disorderly conduct. That officer responded by punching her in the face.

When Miami is winning, the thugs jump on-board the bandwagon.
Catholic vs. Convicts...
Been that way since the late 80’s
Canes will lose to Clemson in the ACC Championship no worries! The problem is that South Carolina may get them before then..
Whoa. Guy in the red shirt takes a solid shot to the face, falls down, jumps right up and starts goin’ at it again!
Clemson is beatable as is Miami. Alabama may be as well since they lost their RB’s.
Alcohol will do that. Bet he’s hurting now.
Actually it is a good thing none of them seems to know how to throw a decent punch.
Didn’t look at all like a Chuck E Cheese video.
Notre Dame embarrassed themselves into oblivion. We all know that they are pushed by media well beyond their real capability. They usually have to play at least one good football team per year and down they go every year. This was hard to watch. “Oh the humanity.”
All top 4 teams are vulnerable. Glad to see Notre Dame got rolled. Most overhyped team in the history of sports.
Always happy to see Notre Dame lose.
Don’t care much who beats them.
Jesus was a convict.
No wonder why people hate self righteous assholes like yourself.
Who has the child molesters?
Most hitting Notre Dame did all night.
That's all right, that's OK - you're going to work for us someday!
Amazing that people make such idiotic comments below the article thinking that the stadium is in beautiful Coral Gables and that the students are thugs. It’s a private university and not at all easy to get into.
There’s a BIG difference between the location of the gorgeous University of Miami campus in Coral Gables and the stadium in Miami Gardens, where the Dolphins also play.
Unfortunately, the University of Miami does not have a football stadium on campus. It’s in Miami Gardens, 28 miles away from their campus. The atmosphere is quite different.
