On Saturday night at the Big House in Ann Arbor, the Michigan State Spartans got a beatdown at the Hands of the undefeated Michigan Wolverines, as UM walked away with a 29-7 win in a game that was not as close as the score indicated. But following the game's conclusion, a group of MSU players decided to give a beatdown of their own as they assaulted at least one Michigan player in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms. On Sunday, Spartans' head coach Mel Tucker released a statement.

“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.”
