18 Tennessee Fans Arrested For Allegedly Throwing Trash on the Field vs. Ole Miss

Eighteen fans were arrested for throwing items onto the field during Tennessee's game against Ole Miss on Saturday.

The University of Tennessee Police department told Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel that they are continuing to investigate security footage in an effort to identify fans. Students who are identified could face additional disciplinary action and be banned from attending future games.

Fans littered the field with trash and other items late in Ole Miss' 31-26 victory over the Volunteers, which also featured former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin returning to Knoxville for the first time as a head coach since leaving the program in 2009.
