Saturday night’s Michigan-Michigan State game became marred in the minutes following the Wolverines’ 29-7 victory when several Spartans players were caught on video assaulting a Michigan player.
Michigan State coach Mel Tucker issued a statement about the incident Sunday morning, tweeting in a thread, “As Spartans our program has a responsibility to uphold the highest level of sportsmanship. While emotions were very high at the conclusion of our rivalry game at Michigan Stadium, there is no excuse for behavior that puts our team or our opponents at risk.
“In complete cooperation with law enforcement, the Big Ten Conference and MSU and UM leadership, we will evaluate the events in Ann Arbor and take swift and appropriate action.”
