Jim Harbaugh Calls Michigan State Altercation 'Bush League'; Mark Dantonio Says 'That's B.S.'

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh called out Michigan State for their actions in a pre-game altercation on Saturday.

When asked about it after Michigan's 21-7 win over Michigan State, Harbaugh referred to the Spartans' moves as "total bush league."

"Apparently Coach Dantonio was five yards behind it all smiling," Harbaugh said. "Yeah, I think it's bush league. That's my impression of it. But our guys, they didn't blink. They [didn't] come here to back down or get intimidated by anybody. We never have in this game."

The two teams got into a scuffle prior to the game and exchanged in trash talk after Michigan State made their regular pregame march down the field 10 minutes late on Saturday morning.
