After Michigan’s victory over Ohio State, tempers flared as players clashed at midfield while the Wolverines attempted to plant their flag on the Buckeyes’ home turf. The scuffle resulted in police officers using pepper spray to break up the fight, with the OSU Police Department leading the investigation into the incident. Ohio State coach Ryan Day expressed his team’s pride in defending their home field, while Michigan coach Sherrone Moore acknowledged that emotions were high in the rivalry game. Moore addressed the incident with his team and plans to do so again. Despite the excitement of Michigan’s win, running back Kalel Mullings commented on the unfortunate post-game brawl. The Wolverines’ 13-10 victory likely ended the Buckeyes’ hope of reaching the Big Ten title game. The game was marked by a lackluster performance from Ohio State, with key mistakes in the run game and in the passing game. Mullings was Michigan’s standout performer, rushing for 116 yards and the team’s only touchdown. The game was a tough loss for Ohio State against an unranked opponent to end a disappointing season. The loss was particularly difficult for the Buckeyes as they were expected to win, highlighting the intensity of the rivalry between the two teams.
