Michigan stunned the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday in Columbus, coming away with a 13-10 victory that undoubtedly shocked the college football world. Michigan was celebrating the victory by trying to plant a flag on Ohio State’s midfield, and that’s when a wild brawl ensued. The police got involved to separate the teams, and they even used pepper spray. Wolverines’ star defensive lineman Mason Graham was hit with pepper spray after he was trying to help a teammate off the ground.

It was without a doubt, one of the wildest brawls of the 2024 college football season. It’ll add yet another chapter in this historic rivalry. Before the brawl broke out, Graham spoke with FOX sideline reporter Jenny Taft.

“I mean that’s always mindset of this game, you know, you know it’s gonna be won up front,” Graham said. “We pride ourselves on that here at Michigan but, you know, that’s what we are. That’s what Michigan does man.”

After Michigan pulled off an upset of Ohio State on Saturday, a fight broke out and players had to be separated. Some players got pepper-sprayed, as well, according to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde.

The fight occurred as Michigan attempted to plant a flag at mid-field at Ohio Stadium following the 13-10 victory. It marks the Wolverines’ fourth straight victory over Ohio State – their longest winning streak in the rivalry since 1988-91.

Michigan entered the game as more than 20-point underdogs to Ohio State. And the Wolverines walked out of Ohio Stadium as winners after they controlled the line of scrimmage for much of Saturday afternoon.
