The video appeared to show some Marshall players needing to be held back as they talked back to the fans on the way to the locker room.
The interaction drew ire from fans in the college and pro football world.
The game itself was hard-fought, with Appalachian State pulling off the 31-30 victory.
Thundering Herd running back Rasheen Ali fielded a kick at his own 3-yard line and appeared to be ready to run a reverse to his teammate. But he faked out everyone and ran the ball back for a touchdown. The fake was so good, the broadcast camera followed it. Ali’s score was the big highlight of the night.
