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,” Tucker said. “I’m extremely saddened by this incident and the unacceptable behavior depicted by members of our football program,” Stanley said in a statement. Social media posts showed at least three Michigan State players pushing, punching and kicking Michigan’s Ja’Den McBurrows in and near a hallway that does not lead to either locker room.

Emotions boiled over after Saturday night's rivalry game at Michigan Stadium.

“On behalf of Michigan State University, my heartfelt apology to the University of Michigan and the student athletes who were injured. … This is not what a rivalry should be about.” “But this is not how we should interact after a game,” said Manuel, Michigan’s athletic director. There is no provocation that could justify the behavior we are seeing on the videos. 4 Michigan Wolverines defeated the unranked Michigan State Spartans 29-7 on Saturday. The two schools released a joint statement saying, “The University of Michigan Police, in partnership with Michigan State University Police, Michigan Athletics and Michigan football, is actively reviewing footage and investigating the postgame incident.”

Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker, president Samuel L. Stanley and Michigan president Santa J. Ono reacted Sunday morning to postgame attack.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There is certainly no love lost between these two teams. Jim Harbaugh and Michigan got their first win against Mel Tucker on Saturday ...

Last week, Penn State players threw PB&J sandwiches at Michigan and a scuffle started in the tunnel. “Our side of the game is always clean we just try to punish we don’t do much talking. And Michigan State happened to be the latest victim. After the game ended, Blake Corum and J.J. These Michigan players heard all about the Spartans’ victories over the maize and blue and they finally had enough. Jim Harbaugh and Michigan got their first win against Mel Tucker on Saturday after defeating the Spartans, 29-7.

For the second consecutive game, C.J. Stokes came in for the final carries of the ballgame. It's interesting they would bring in a freshman for three snaps to ...

There was not a lot of opportunity for any of these freshmen to get on the field against Michigan State. It will be interesting to see how much time he gets on the field down the stretch. Colston Loveland continues to impress on the field and sees significant playing time after the back injury to Erick All.

Video of a second player being roughed up by Michigan State players surfaced on Sunday after a major incident in a tunnel after their game.

Tucker added more in tweets Sunday: "As Spartans our program has a responsibility to uphold the highest level of sportsmanship. "I saw on the one video — 10 on one. It should not be how it is remembered." "Two of our players were assaulted," Harbaugh said. The second video surfaced and appeared to show a Spartans player using his helmet to hit a Wolverines player. [Michigan head coach](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/ncaa/michigan-wolverines) Jim Harbaugh said in the postgame press conference there were two incidents in the aftermath of the game, but until Sunday only one of the incidents was documented.

Michigan football CB Gemon Green was reportedly the other player assaulted in the tunnel by MSU players. The media reacted to the new video.

I wouldn’t let some of you mfs clean my toilet. I can’t believe the justifications I’m seeing by some bonafide lowlifes right now. If you're trying to justify the despicable actions by several MSU players, just stop. As more videos emerge, the scene gets uglier. [October 30, 2022] Whatever it was, if you didn't think the McBurrows video justified calling it an assault, maybe this one will offer you more clarity.

Three takeaways from Angelique S. Chengelis of The Detroit News following Michigan's 29-7 win over Michigan State in Week 9.

Against Maryland in the Big Ten opener, Schoonmaker had 72 yards on seven catches and a touchdown. He has been a favorite receiver of McCarthy’s and has filled the void left by Erick All, who is “When we had pressure, he was able to avoid it. McCarthy said he was still trying to incorporate his ability to run. “For a second, I thought the 54-yarder, we should go back to the well one more time. “We have a lot of trust in Jake Moody,” Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said.

Michigan State officials said Sunday that players who confronted and threw punches at at least one Michigan player after their rivalry game on Saturday ...

We will let the Big Ten and law enforcement handle it, but this is not what a rivalry should be about.” “This is not the way another team should grab a player and do what they did. “I’m extremely saddened by this incident and the unacceptable behavior depicted by members of our football program,” Stanley said in a statement released by the school. “The police are also looking into it, because they’ve seen the video and they’re addressing it. “As Spartans our program has a responsibility to uphold the highest level of sportsmanship,” Spartans coach Mel Tucker posted to Twitter Sunday morning. Harbaugh said one of the players could have sustained an injury to his nose.

A game that Michigan won convincingly. A night that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Blake Corum has been one of the best backs in college football this season and he’s very likely to be a Heisman finalist at the end of the year. Moody would be the first player to win the award in consecutive seasons. Michigan’s recipe down the stretch last season was to run it down the throats of opponents, and it’s been a similar strategy this season through their first eight games. Michigan State had just 8 total yards in the third quarter and 63 yards in the second half. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is able to buckle down and have his finest playcalling moments in the late stages. Michigan dominated time of possession in the second half, maintaining control for 22:59 compared to just 6:55 for MSU.

Michigan State football senior safety Xavier Henderson is being called a 'thug', among other things on Instagram by Michigan football fans.

PFF Top Performers (15 Snap Minimum). Offense. 1. Blake Corum (82.0). Surprise, surprise — Blake Corum was the best offensive player on the field. The junior ...

He wasn't as sticky in coverage as he normally is and he also seemed to be a step slow against the run. He logged 22 snaps but didn't record a stat and seemed to struggle a bit as a pass rusher according to PFF. He did have a nice tipped pass that he almost intercepted but outside of that he didn't make much of an impact. On the rest of his snaps, he wasn't overly effective as a pass rusher. He's been showing some flashes this year but against the Spartans he was targeted just once and was credited with a drop. He finished the night with two tackles and a pass breakup and was in the right spot on just about every play. He wasn't quite as stout as a run blocker, but overall he was the best of a great group. He only gave up one reception on the night for a measly nine yards and was great as an open-field tackler as usual. He also got a paw up and tipped a pass. He only recorded two tackles against the Spartans but one was a half sack and the other was a TFL. He was also extremely solid as a pass blocker and while out as a receiver. Hayes played all 81 snaps and was elite as a pass blocker with a grade of 88.6.

Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker late Sunday night suspended four Spartans for their roles in a fight with Michigan players on Saturday.

It is unclear if the Big Ten plans to issue further punishment for the Spartans or Wolverines. In the new video, it appeared that Crump — a 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore who transferred to MSU from Arizona before the 2021 season — used his helmet to swing at Green. Video shot by reporters Saturday night showed Crump being restrained by two teammates as a large group of Spartans dragged McBurrows along the opposite wall. “The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, personnel, and the Spartan community remain our number one priority. Young, a 6-6, 260-pound freshman who started his second straight game Saturday, had seven tackles. “The initial student-athlete suspensions will remain in place until the investigations are completed.

"Situations like these, and the safety of the community, are taken very seriously." "On behalf of our university and athletics department, I have been in consistent contact with University of Michigan Athletics Director Warde Manuel and Big Ten Conference Commissioner Kevin Warren," Haller said in the statement. The Spartans player is not identifiable in the video. We will leave it in their hands, but this is not how we should interact after a game," Manuel said. "Including, but not limited to, additional student-athlete participation in the altercation and contributing factors." We will let the Big Ten and law enforcement handle it, but this is not what a rivalry should be about."
