Michigan fifth year senior defense of tackle Maurice Hurst made clear via social media his displeasure after the announcement of the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year was made.

Ohio State’s Nick Bosa won the award announced Thursday, along with the other Big Ten individual honors.

Hurst used three emojis — one identified as hopeless and two as irritated — in his initial Twitter response, and then posted another tweet asking “where the big10 headquarters at?”
