Massive Brawl Erupts After Michigan’s Shocking Upset Over Ohio State
COLUMBUS, OH – Tensions reached a boiling point following a thrilling conclusion to one of college football’s greatest rivalries, as players from both the Michigan Wolverines and No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes engaged in a massive brawl after Michigan’s stunning 13-10 victory at Ohio Stadium on November 30, 2024.
The altercation began when Michigan defensive end Derrick Moore attempted to plant his team’s flag at midfield, leading to confrontations with several Ohio State players, culminating in an Ohio State player tearing the flag down. The situation quickly escalated into multiple skirmishes, with punches thrown between players from both teams.
Law enforcement was called to diffuse the situation, and officers from various agencies deployed pepper spray to manage the chaotic scene. An Ohio State school spokesperson confirmed that while officers intervened, details on any serious injuries remain unclear. “Following the game, officers assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation… Several officers deployed pepper spray,” the spokesperson said.
Michigan running back Kalel Mullings expressed disappointment at the post-game violence, stating, "It’s just bad for the game… some people got to learn how to lose, man." He underscored the importance of maintaining sportsmanship, particularly after such an intense match.
The victory marked a significant upset for Michigan, who, with a record of 7-5, ended Ohio State’s hopes of reaching the Big Ten title game. Kicker Dominic Zvada clinched the win with a 21-yard field goal just 45 seconds before the final whistle. The Buckeyes were heavily favored by 21 points going into the game, making this loss particularly stinging for their fans and players alike.
