Ohio State won their eighth national championship last night, defeating the Oregon Ducks in stunning fashion. Students at Ohio State poured into the streets of Columbus celebrating the 42-20 victory and, unsurprisingly, some of them got out of hand.
Amid reports of burning couches and dumpster fires, cops in riot gear dispersed the otherwise peaceful crowd with tear gas and pepper spray. Here are some images from the scene.
