An ugly brawl after the final whistle marred Michigan’s shocking upset win over rival Ohio State, who entered the game at the No. 2 team in the nation. In the 120th edition of ‘The Game,’ the Buckeyes were nearly a 20-point favorite at home as they looked to snap a three-game losing streak against their archrivals and secure their place in the Big Ten championship game. The game was tied at 10 points apiece in the final minute of the game as Michigan drove the ball deep into Ohio State territory. Michigan took at 13-10 lead on a 21-yard Dominic Zvada field goal. With no timeouts remaining, Ohio State was unable to respond, and Michigan escaped The Horseshoe with its fourth consecutive win in one of the country’s most heated rivalries. The win helped salvage a disappointing season for defending national champion Michigan, but things took an ugly turn after the game ended. A Wolverines player attempted to plant a Michigan banner on the Buckeyes logo at midfield in Ohio Stadium, which led to pushing and shoving and eventually punches being thrown by members of both teams.
