With video: Police investigating postgame 'assault' involving MSU, UM players

Ann Arbor — Police have launched an investigation into an ugly postgame fight in the tunnel at Michigan Stadium following Michigan's 28-7 victory over rival Michigan State late Saturday night.

Tempers flared on the field as the closing seconds ticked off the clock, but cooler heads appeared to prevail — until the tunnel, where several reporters heading toward postgame press conferences captured video of what appeared to be about 10 Michigan State players surrounding one Michigan player, several Spartans landing kicks and punches.

The Michigan player appeared to be defensive back Ja'Den McBurrows, who was on the ground in the middle of several Michigan State players.
