A fight broke out at midfield after Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday when Wolverines players attempted to plant their flag on the OSU logo and were confronted by the Buckeyes.
Police used pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves in the melee that overshadowed the rivalry game. One officer suffered unspecified injuries and was taken to a hospital, a police union official said.
"There are consequences for actions," said one observer of the incident.
The intense rivalry between these two teams often results in heated exchanges, but this altercation took it to another level as tempers flared post-game.
"We need to ensure such incidents don't happen again," stated an official from Ohio State.
