The final game of Week 14 of the college football season was BYU facing Houston in a Big 12 Conference showdown.

Late on Saturday, BYU was officially knocked out of a spot in the Big 12 title game as both Iowa State and Arizona State got wins.

Still, BYU finishing the year on a strong note would help their bowl game bid.

BYU went into halftime with a 21-10 lead and then scored nine second-half points, eventually walking away with the 30-18 victory over Houston.

Jake Retzlaff rushed for a touchdown just under the three-minute mark to extend the lead to 12, and chaos ensued right after that.

After the touchdown, Houston DB Jeremiah Wilson got into it with BYU RB Sione Moa.

The two began to shove each other, and then a massive fight broke out with players throwing punches at each other.

Darius Lassiter from BYU (#5) and AJ Haulcy from Houston (#2) were given unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and ejected from the game.

This was just another in a long list of fights around college football on Saturday, with the Ohio State-Michigan postgame brawl being one of the worst in a long time.

Nonetheless, more discipline could be coming from the Big 12 after the way things ended between these two teams.
