Central's 27-22 victory over North Carolina A&T was overshadowed by a bench-clearing, team-wide brawl at the conclusion of the game which lasted several minutes, left dozens of players laying on the field as other swung helmets and fists.A&T and NCCU police forces ran in and broke up the fight using pepper spray.
