Police review riot footage, search to identify culprits

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Police reviewed video footage Monday to try to identify more people who overturned and burned cars and pelted officers with bottles and rocks after Ohio State's football victory over Michigan.\nFans set more than 100 street fires while celebrating after a 14-9 win Saturday, police said. The victory completed an unbeaten regular season for the Buckeyes and clinched a spot in the national championship game.\nThe Ohio State-Michigan showdown was among several games Saturday that sparked violence.\nThere was fan trouble at Cal-Stanford in Berkeley, Calif.; Clemson-South Carolina in Clemson, S.C.; and North Carolina State-Florida State in Raleigh, N.C. Also, players from both teams fought after Hawaii's 20-19 win over Cincinnati.\nIn Columbus, starting about 1 a.m. Sunday, police in riot gear escorted firefighters through clouds of tear gas to the fires as crowds off campus tossed bottles and rocks at them.\nAbout 20 cars were damaged by fire or overturning, and at one time a pile of nine cars was burning, police said. The fires were so intense a section of one street buckled. No serious injuries were reported.\nThe damage amount had not been estimated, police spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio said Monday. Police arrested 49 people, mainly on charges of having open alcoholic beverage containers or drinking underage, she said.\nAuthorities earlier said more charges would be filed as people were identified on video. The university determined seven of those arrested attended Ohio State.
