After a tense game between Wisconsin and Nebraska, police ran over to confront a Nebraska coach following his team's victory.

When the game had concluded, Cornhuskers assistant coach Donovan Raiola was seen walking past Badgers head coach Luke Fickell and his staff.

Raiola appeared to say something to the coach - leading someone on Wisconsin's staff to point at him as he walked by.

That led a police officer to run straight up to Raiola - grabbing him by the arm and appearing to bark orders at him.

After a brief moment, the police and Raiola went their separate ways without any further incident.

It's not quite clear what Raiola may have said to Fickell and no reports have given any inkling as to what caused the response.

It's possible that the police didn't know who Raiola was as the Nebraska fans stormed the field. 

Donovan Raiola is the uncle of Dylan Raiola, Nebraska's quarterback. Dylan completed 28-of-38 passes for 293 yards and a touchdown in the stomping.

Nebraska's ground game was particularly effective with four rushing touchdowns on the day. 

With the victory, Nebraska officially became bowl eligible as they moved to 6-5 on the season. 

The Cornhuskers play the final game of their regular season against rivals Iowa on Friday night.
