Following Michigan’s victory at No. 2 Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday, a skirmish broke out between players from both teams at midfield when the Wolverines attempted to plant their flag on the Buckeyes’ home turf. Police officers had to use pepper spray to separate the teams, and the incident is currently being investigated by the OSU Police Department. Ohio State coach Ryan Day addressed the clash, stating that his team was not going to allow the flag planting to happen. Michigan coach Sherrone Moore acknowledged that emotions were high on both sides given the rivalry between the two teams. Michigan running back Kalel Mullings commented on the post-game scuffle, expressing disappointment in the behavior of the opposing team. The game ended with Michigan winning 13-10 after a last-minute field goal, marking their fourth consecutive victory over Ohio State in the rivalry. Despite Ohio State’s favorable ranking and expectations, they struggled throughout the game, with Howard throwing two interceptions and the run game failing to produce. The loss was particularly tough for Ohio State as they were unable to secure a spot in the Big Ten title game. The rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan remains intense, with both teams showing pride and determination in their performances on the field.
