As the Wolverines attempted to do just that — plant a Michigan flag at midfield — the defensive end grabbed the flag and threw it on the ground, prompting a physical altercation to break out between the two teams, according to footage shared by sports journalist Brandon Marcello on X.

The Buckeyes were trying to sing "Carmen Ohio" at the south end of the stadium, a post game tradition, as multiple Wolverines carried out a Michigan flag to midfield and tried to plant it on the Block O. Essentially, the entire Ohio State team took exception and a brawl broke out between dozens of players.

The incident appeared to have started when a Michigan player attempted to plant a team flag at midfield in Ohio Stadium.
