LSU and the Canes got into one that was probably as bad as that a couple years ago, I believe. However, I also don't blame Miami for the fight against FIU. FIU started the fight and I think the Canes reacted about the way I would expect them to react. In a sport like football, it's very easy for things to escalate. You have a bunch of guys who feed off of adrenaline and aggression in order to play the game, then, you take a cheap shot at a defenseless holder...FIU deserved what they got.
If Miami hadn't jumped in on the fight everybody would be calling them punks because they let FIU do that to their player. It was a no-win situation for the Canes. Either they look like p***ies or they go out there and defend their own. In this case, I think Miami did what they had to do. It shouldn't have gotten as bad as it did, but someone had to do something.
