The Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry is one of the best in all sports. Both schools show a lot of on- and off-the-field hate for one another, but there are always times when they feel for each other. On Monday, Matt Zenitz from 247sports and CBS Sports reported that Michigan’s star safety Rod Moore tore his ACL during Sunday’s Wolverines’ spring practice.
Some unfortunate injury news: Michigan standout safety Rod Moore suffered a torn ACL during the Wolverines’ practice yesterday, sources tell @247Sports.
Moore, a starter for Michigan each of the last three years, was an All-Big Ten selection last season.https://t.co/WusziO07Bj pic.twitter.com/rX11Yiwrip

Ohio State Fans Went To Social Media To Show Their Feelings
Moore is one of the country’s best players, and he could be out the entire season since it sometimes takes 9-12 months for a player to recover from an ACL injury.
Many Ohio State fans should remember Moore as the player who picked off quarterback Kyle McCord at the end of the Ohio State vs. Michigan game last season, giving the Wolverines the win.
Even though Moore ended Ohio State’s playoff chances last season, tons of Buckeye fans went to the social media platform X on Monday night and Tuesday morning to wish Moore nothing but the best.

Ohio State And Michigan Fans Support Eachother In Time Of Need
It stinks to see a player tear his ACL months before the season starts, but it was pretty neat to see rivals of the opposing teams sending positive vibes, and hopefully, Moore gets better soon.
Ohio State and Michigan could be huge rivals on the field, but when something major happens to one of their programs, the other fanbase does a good job supporting the other.
