The Ohio State Buckeyes found themselves embroiled in a post-game brawl with the Michigan Wolverines, moments after suffering a heartbreaking 13-10 defeat at the hands of their rivals.
The Wolverines’ attempt to plant their flag at midfield was met with swift and unyielding resistance from the Buckeyes, leading to a chaotic and disgraceful scene on the field.
The heated moment unfolded as Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham was giving a post-game interview on live broadcast, according to CBS Sports.
Behind him, Michigan players made their way to midfield with their school’s flag, intent on staking their claim after the monumental win.
Ohio State players, visibly angered by the gesture, stormed the area in an effort to prevent the flag from being planted, igniting the first round of on-field clashes.

As tensions appeared to de-escalate briefly, Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer reignited the conflict by charging at a Michigan player and tearing the flag from its pole.
This act triggered a second round of clashes, with players from both sides engaging in physical confrontations that required intervention from coaching staff, security personnel, and police officers.
Here’s the moment Jack Sawyer stormed in, ripping the flag off its pole.

“For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game,” said Michigan running back Kalel Mullings, who called out Ohio State’s reaction as “classless.”
“Just bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. Can’t be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game. All that fighting, we have 60 minutes, we have four quarters to do all that fighting and now you want to talk and fight. That’s wrong. It’s just bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better.”
