Canvas Stadium’s field storm after Colorado State’s 35-13 Border War win over Wyoming produced the night’s ugliest moment, when a Cowboys player put both hands into a CSU fan and sent him backward into the crowd as the field emptied.
The clip, first posted by MLFootball, showed green jerseys flooding the hash marks while a player in pads squared up with a fan who had already moved into his space. The shove knocked the fan back into the pile as the scene turned chaotic in the middle of the field storm. No one in the video was identified.
CSU had just claimed the Bronze Boot in Jim Mora’s debut, and Hauss Hejny had thrown five touchdowns, but the celebration quickly became defined by the contact on the field. Fans ignored the PA and poured onto the field after the final whistle.
The scene drew immediate comparisons to another postgame shove from the same Saturday night, when Lane Kiffin pushed a college kid after LSU finished off Clemson in Baton Rouge. In that clip, Susan Lloyd’s Clemson sideline camera caught Kiffin, and the video was paired with the line: “Oh that Lane Kiffen.
He’s such an admirable human being. (I mean, who shoves a college kid moments after beating down the opposing team?)”
The Wyoming video carried no such explanation. There was no statement, no name on the chyron, just a Cowboys player in pads pushing a fan in a T-shirt. The contrast was part of the viral reaction: one shove from a famous coach, one from an unnamed Wyoming player, both happening in the aftermath of blowouts and both captured in the same weekend of college football chaos.
Wyoming has already had viral moments caught on camera before, including a pair of Cowboys fans stealing attention during a BYU broadcast two years ago. This time, it was the uniform doing the pushing, and the internet kept the shove even as the box score still belonged to CSU’s night.

Lane Kiffin's LSU Debut Already Has Fans Debating The Program's Image
Lane Kiffins first night as LSUs head coach at Tiger Stadium came with plenty of attention before he ever settled into the sideline routine. Against Clemson, he arrived with a headline-friendly group of celebrity guests that included LSU alums Livvy Dunne and Brooks Nader, along with comedian Theo Vonn, while also taking a brief moment to meet five-star tight end recruit Ahmad Hudson. For a program that has never shied away from theater, the opening scene looked built for big-stage college football.
Still, the reaction around Kiffins debut quickly became part of the story. Social media lit up with mixed responses, and some fans took issue with the presentation, questioning the image LSU was putting forward and Kiffins comfort in the role of college football villain. For all the buzz around the entrance, the more interesting debate may be how much of this is showmanship LSU wants tied to its new coach, and how long that image will shape the conversation around the program.

LSU Fan's Viral Pregame Escort Stole Attention From A Massive Night
Before LSU even kicked off its season opener against Clemson, a separate scene near Tiger Stadium was already pulling eyes away from the football. Video circulating from the pregame crowd showed a woman dressed in LSU-themed clothing being escorted by law enforcement through the area, an image that quickly spread as fans tried to make sense of what had happened.
The footage leaves one key detail unresolved, since it is not clear whether she was arrested or simply removed from the scene. It was a strange prelude to a massive night for LSU, one that marked Lane Kiffins debut as head coach and ended with the Tigers beating Clemson on the field. [Read more 🡒]
Lane Kiffins LSU Debut Turned Tiger Stadium Into A Full-Blown Spectacle
Lane Kiffins first home game as LSUs head coach already felt bigger than a standard season opener, and the buildup around Clemson made Tiger Stadium look more like the center of the college football universe. LSU officials confirmed the game drew the largest media and celebrity presence in stadium history, a striking reminder of how quickly the new era in Baton Rouge has become appointment viewing.
Kiffins walk down Victory Hill only amplified the scene, with Livvy Dunne, Theo Von and Brooks Nader among the notable names in the crowd as cameras and credentialed media packed the venue. It was the kind of arrival that can overshadow the football for a night, and at LSU the question now is how long that spotlight stays this intense once the first kickoff is over. [Read more 🡒]
