After the Michigan Wolverines upset the Ohio State Buckeyes in a 13-10 victory, players from both teams fought on the field.
Police used pepper spray on football players from Michigan and Ohio State during a brawl between the two teams following a rivalry game.
The Michigan Wolverines upset their longtime rivals, the Ohio State Buckeyes, in a stunning 13-10 victory in Columbus Saturday afternoon.
After the Wolverines’ win, Michigan players could be seen carrying a school flag during a midfield celebration. In a video clip circulating online, Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer rips the Michigan flag away, causing a melee to break out. As players from both teams push and throw punches, police attempt to break up the fight, with some officers threatening to use pepper spray.
Several Michigan players could also be seen in news footage rubbing their faces and eyes, as if sprayed.
The Ohio State University Police Department later confirmed in a statement that officers “representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray” during the fight.
