  I don't call having guys run over while trying to get on the bench or
having guys leap into the bench a controlled team.  Both teams got out of
hand, not just one.

  Sorry, but even though opposing crowds DO have some effect on visiting
teams, a chant of "4 straight losses"  would not cause BG to start
fighting.  It was a coincidence that the fighting just happened to start
then.
