After Michigan defeated Ohio State 45-23 on Saturday, linebacker Michael Barrett grabbed a giant Michigan flag and ran the width of the end zone, waving it in front of the remaining Michigan fans at the stadium.
The Michigan players then ran up the field with the giant flag flapping behind them, only to land at midfield where they planted the flag on the Block O emblem at the 50-yard line. It was reminiscent of Baker Mayfield planting the Oklahoma flag after the Sooners beat Ohio State 31-16.
The move by Mayfield caused a stir and irritation from the Ohio State players, so Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was asked how he felt after his players did the same.
