Social media was filled with videos of the crowd rushing the field immediately after the game.
"A kid broke his ankle really bad, and it was sideways," claimed a student-athlete who had been at the game.
It is unclear whether Coastal Carolina University will receive a fine. The University of Tennessee was hit with a $100,000 fine after fans stormed the field following the upset victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide in mid-October.
The fine was a result of the school violating the Southeastern Conference's policy on access to the competition area.

The Mountaineers did respond late in the fourth quarter and trailed by a touchdown and an extra point with just over three minutes remaining in the game.
But Coastal Carolina were able to run out the clock to end the game.
