Michigan senior Kalel Mullings did not mince any words after the Wolverines’ massive upset of No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday was upstaged by a post-game brawl at midfield.
In an interview with the Fox broadcast after police and field security had finally separated all the players, the tailback placed the blame squarely on Ohio State players for storming Michigan’s celebration as the Wolverines planted their flag at midfield (which they have in the past after beating the Buckeyes).
Ohio State players tried to rip the flag away from the Wolverines. Michigan players took it right back and chaos ensued, pepper spray was seemingly used on both teams and the Buckeyes turned a bad day into an embarrassment.
Or as Mullings put it: Ohio State acted like sore losers.
"You hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's just bad for the sport, bad for CFB… They gotta learn how to lose man. You can't be fighting."@JennyTaft speaks with Michigan's Kalel Mullings after a fight broke out between Ohio State and Michigan after the game ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/z6rmxu2YJQ

“They gotta learn how to lose man,” Mullings said. “You can’t be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game. We had 60 minutes, four quarters to do all that fighting and now people want to talk and fight?
“That’s wrong. Bad for the game and classless in my opinion.”
