There is no more fiery college football rivalry than Michigan and Ohio State, and early on in Saturday’s game, Wolverines linebacker Jaishawn Barham almost cost his team dearly as a result of a blowup.
Michigan opened the game with a pair of field goals to take a 6–0 lead over the Buckeyes, taking advantage of a rare interception by OSU quarterback Julian Sayin to set up the second kick. The Buckeyes offense went down the field on the ensuing drive, and after a third-and-goal stop, Barham got into an official’s face and made contact with his nose. It wasn’t the most violent of head butts, but was likely enough to earn him an ejection.
