Ohio State Police release statement after brawl after Michigan game

By now you’ve seen the postgame incident following Michigan’s 13-10 win over Ohio State on Saturday. Once the score became final, the Wolverines carried the Block M flag to midfield to plant it on the 50-yard line, similar to what we saw in 2022. The difference this time is that there were plenty of Buckeyes left. on the field who were not about to let that happen. As a result, the two teams clashed at midfield and a brawl ensued.

As security guards and police officers tried to break it up, pepper spray was suddenly used in an attempt to separate the players. During the FOX broadcast, you could see two Wolverines on the sidelines struggling after being hit with the spray.

Shortly after, the Ohio State Police issued an official statement regarding the incident.

“Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an altercation on the field. During the battle, several officers representing Ohio and Michigan used pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for gaming and will continue to investigate.”

In the video below, you can see the pepper spray being used as officers tried to separate the two parties.

We’ll see if anything further comes of the post-match brawl between the two teams, but it seems unlikely we’ll see any further punishment for either side. During the postgame presser, head coach Sherrone Moore offered her own take on what happened.

“These were the officers that were around, so they were just trying to control everything,” Moore said. “Security tried to control everything. They had both sides of the guys trying to make sure we took care of them. We’ve got to do a better job handling it as a group. I’ll address it in the locker room, we” I’ll address it again . But that’s both sides.”
