Taking down Ohio State 13-10, Michigan handed Ryan Day and the Buckeyes their fourth straight loss. According to ESPN Research, Michigan was a 20.5-point underdog, the second-biggest line in the rivalry dating back to 1978.
Despite missing two of their top players in cornerback Will Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland, both expected to go first in the next NFL draft, the Wolverines still pulled off one of the biggest upsets this season.
However, things went sideways fast after the game was over.

Michigan-Ohio State Fight Did Not Call For Pepper Spray, According To Social Media
Fans on social media thought the cops’ use of pepper spray was a bit excessive.
“My Cops Randomly Assaulting Players prop cashed at +2700 though, so we vibing 😎,” someone wrote in the comments.
“completely unnecessary,” said another.
“These cops are THUGS!” another user declared.
However, others felt it was warranted.
“People act like this is unjustified. Brawls and riots on a football field are no different from any other location. Cannot disregard police instruction and assault others without consequence. Arrests should have been made,” a fan stated.
“LAW AND ORDER. REFRESHING TO SEE,” a second added.
“Good! Just because you’re a player means nothing in the real world. Want to act like a clown? Get treated like one,” said a third.
