Wolverines look to plant a flag after victory

One of the biggest upsets in the history of one of college football’s most heated rivalries ended in a brawl.

Shortly after Michigan earned an impressive 13-10 win over arch-rival Ohio State at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, players from the Wolverines and Buckeyes got into a skirmish near midfield.

The riot appeared to have been sparked by a group of Wolverines players attempting to place a maize blue Michigan flag on Ohio State’s midfield logo.

In a video shared on social media by Nicole Shearin of WBNS-TV in Columbus, Michigan, edge rusher Derrick Moore can be seen carrying the flag to midfield, where he was stopped by a group of Ohio State players and is encountered.

A physical altercation then ensued, resulting in a scrum between the two teams. Several players were shown throwing shots on camera and in various social media posts. After a few minutes, the players were finally separated. Before the fight was broken up, Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer ripped the Michigan flag away from the Wolverines players, throwing it onto the turf before walking away.

“I don’t know all the details, but I know these guys wanted to raise a flag on our field and our guys weren’t going to let that happen,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said after the game. “I’ll find out exactly what happened, but that’s our area of expertise. We’re certainly embarrassed that we lost the game, but there are some proud boys who weren’t just going to let that happen.”

As the fight escalated, police lined up to form a human wall at the 50-yard line, according to CBS Sports’ Brandon Marcello.
