Michigan’s victory over Michigan State was marred by a fight in the tunnel after the game, when multiple Spartans were caught on video fighting one Wolverines player. The Michigan player, who appears to be defensive back Ja’Den McBurrows, was the lone Michigan player in the tunnel when Michigan State players were heading to their locker room.
After the incident, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and athletic director Warde Manuel addressed the incident. First, Harbaugh gave the media his understanding of what transpired.
“Two of our players were assaulted. You saw the one video, the 10 on one. It was pretty bad,” Harbaugh said. “One of our players has a nasal injury, could be a broken nose. It’s just very unfortunate.”
