### Michigan and Ohio State Post-Game Clash at Midfield Ends in Chaos

In a stunning turn of events following Michigan's narrow 13-10 victory over No. 2 Ohio State, chaos erupted at midfield when players from both teams engaged in a physical altercation. The Wolverines secured their fourth consecutive rivalry win, but the post-game actions overshadowed their achievement as players clashed violently.

The incident began as Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham was being interviewed; behind him, Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield. This provocative act prompted Ohio State players to intervene aggressively. Just when it seemed the situation might de-escalate, Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer reignited the conflict by snatching the flag from a Michigan player, prompting another round of fighting.

Law enforcement had to intervene using pepper spray to separate the dueling athletes. According to a statement from the Ohio State University Police Department (OSUPD), officers from both Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray in their efforts to break up the brawl. The aftermath saw two Michigan players and a photographer rubbing their faces in pain from the pepper spray. Police formed a human barrier at the 50-yard line to prevent further clashes.

Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada's 21-yard field goal with just 45 seconds remaining had clinched the game, marking the first such win for Michigan under coach Sherrone Moore. Yet, the post-game violence left a sour taste. Michigan running back Kalel Mullings lamented the brawl, calling it detrimental to the sport. "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game," Mullings said. "It's just bad for the sport, bad for college football. People got to learn how to lose."

Ohio State's coach Ryan Day, visibly upset during his post-game press conference, admitted that he was still ascertaining the details but emphasized his team's pride. "I know that those guys were looking to put a flag on our field, and our guys weren't going to let that happen," Day stated.

Conversely, Michigan's coach Sherrone Moore acknowledged that emotions had overrun both teams but believed his team could have managed the situation more effectively. "Our guys were waving the flag around, and their guys charged us," he explained. "This rivalry game is intense, but we must handle it better."

Moore confirmed that the pepper spray affected players from both sides and mentioned addressing the issue in the locker room and again in the future to avoid such incidents. "Security was trying to control everything. We need to handle this better as a group," he concluded.

The feisty conclusion of this headlining game underscores the passionate and sometimes volatile nature of one of college football's biggest rivalries.
