Michigan’s victory over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday led to a post-game scuffle between players from both teams. The incident occurred when Michigan players attempted to plant their flag on Ohio State’s home turf, resulting in a skirmish that required police intervention. Ohio State coach Ryan Day expressed pride in his team’s refusal to allow the flag planting, while Michigan coach Sherrone Moore acknowledged the emotional nature of rivalry games. The Wolverines’ 13-10 victory, sealed by a late field goal, dealt a blow to Ohio State’s hopes of returning to the Big Ten title game. The loss was particularly tough for Ohio State, as Michigan was unranked and had endured a disappointing season. Michigan running back Kalel Mullings was a standout player, rushing for 116 yards and scoring the Wolverines’ only touchdown. Ohio State struggled offensively, with quarterback Will Howard throwing two interceptions and the run game failing to make an impact. Despite the intensity of the rivalry game, players from both teams expressed disappointment in the post-game scuffle, acknowledging that emotions had run high. The victory marked Michigan’s fourth straight win over Ohio State, emphasizing the unpredictability of these matchups regardless of team rankings.
