[An Ugly Brawl Marred Michigan’s Upset Win Over Ohio State
An ugly brawl after the final whistle marred Michigan’s shocking upset win over rival Ohio State, who entered the game at the No. 2 team in the nation. The game was tied at 10 points apiece in the final minute of the game as Michigan drove the ball deep into Ohio State territory. Michigan took a 13-10 lead on a 21-yard Dominic Zvada field goal.
With no timeouts remaining, Ohio State was unable to respond, and Michigan escaped The Horseshoe with its fourth consecutive win in one of the country’s most heated rivalries. The win helped salvage a disappointing season for defending national champion Michigan, but things took an ugly turn after the game ended.
A Wolverines player attempted to plant a Michigan banner on the Buckeyes logo at midfield in Ohio Stadium, which led to pushing and shoving and eventually punches being thrown by members of both teams. It took several minutes for stadium security and police to separate the two teams, with pepper spray being dispersed to get the situation under control, according to multiple media reports.
“I think for such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game,” Michigan Running back Kalel Mullings said. “Bad for the sport. Bad for college football.”
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said he thinks all his players are okay following the incident, adding “there was a couple things kind of crazy that went on down there.” He described the moments that led to the ugly scenes, saying “I don’t know all the details of it but I know these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren’t going to let that happen.”
