    Wolverines and Spartans meet on the field

    Kathleen William Posted on

    Two years after the tunnel fight, Michigan football and Michigan State football ended their final rivalry game with an on-field fight after Michigan suffered a knee injury to secure a 24-17 victory.

    It's unclear who exactly started the fight, but the fight broke out when Michigan tight end Colston Loveland and MSU defensive back Anthony Jones got together.

    “Little brother stays and does little brother things,” Loveland told Big Ten Network. “MSU, the little brother. They can do whatever they want. We knew it would be difficult. Everything within the confines of the game we do right, and after the game they want to be busy, and we're going to be busy.”

    Michigan outscored Michigan State in the second, third and fourth quarters to secure the victory at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor in the 117th meeting between in-state rivals.

    It was a relatively clean game throughout, with the Spartans getting six penalties for 35 yards and the Wolverines not taking a single penalty, but emotions ran high at the end.

    The entire situation escalated fairly quickly, with a large crowd of Michigan players leaving the bench to join the fight on the field.

    Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore spoke about the fight in his postgame interview immediately after the game and was not pleased.

    “It’s disappointing,” Moore told Big Ten Network. “That’s not what Michigan football is about. This is not how we represent our program or this university.
