After the game-winning touchdown, Texas A&M fans ran onto the field in violation of the SEC's competition area policy. As a result, Texas A&M was fined a total of $50,000 and warned by the SEC that subsequent actions by fans in future games will result in penalties over $100,000.[9] The game led to NCAA rule changes to overtime that were adopted the following season intended to reduce the number of plays occurring in extended overtime play.
