Things got heated nearly two hours before kickoff at Spartan Stadium as Michigan linebacker Devin Bush exchanged words with several Michigan State players then proceeded to dig his cleats into the Spartan logo at midfield before heading back to the locker room.
The Spartans traditionally walk with arms locked the length of the field at home games, and as they reached midfield, Bush and some Michigan personnel opted not to move, breaking up the line. After Michigan State's players kept walking, Bush continued to yell and was pulled back by Michigan staff.
While the Spartans continued to the end zone, Bush turned and dug his cleats into the turf at midfield.
