Josh Dawsey NEWS EDITOR

Violence marred post-game celebrations following Saturday night’s win against Georgia, as two USC students were stabbed near the stadium and shots were fi red in Five Points. USC director of Student Services Anna Edwards confirmed the victims of the stabbing near the Loose Cockaboose bar at 936 S. Stadium Road were USC fraternity members. No injuries were life threatening, Edwards said. It was unclear Sunday evening which fraternity the victims were involved in or whether the event was officially sponsored by any Greek organization.
