A brawl breaks out and chaos ensues after Michigan stuns Ohio State in Columbus
By Sam Fariss
Michigan did it again. The Wolverines defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes for a fourth season in a row. When the final whistle blew, Michigan held a 13-10 lead over the Buckeyes and ruined Ryan Day's hopes of a good ending to his regular season.
After the game concluded, chaos ensued in the middle of the field. As frustrations boiled over, a fight broke out over the Ohio State 'O' and it only went downhill from there.
As players began throwing jabs back and forth, not to mention the tearing down of flags that seemingly started it all, the police entered the scene which somehow made it even worse. The cops dispensed pepper spray that got in the eyes of players and staff members alike, sending the scene into utter mayhem.
After the fight had been cleared, most people would expect a head coach (of either side) to say those actions weren't a reflection of what their program stands for. Instead, Day made a terrible situation even worse...
The Wolverines have owned the Buckeyes, both in Ann Arbor and in Columbus, but it should never come to physical violence or violence of any kind. As the fight slowed down, players were seen struggling to open their eyes after the pepper spray had hit them during the brawl.
Many people pointed out that if the conference reviews the incident, players on both sides could receive suspensions. For Michigan, that just means they would miss some or all of the Wolverines' bowl game. For Ohio State, however, it could mean players missing the Buckeyes' first game in the College Football Playoffs.
