Michigan Beefs Up Tunnel Security After Incident With Michigan State

Michigan football will return to some notable changes at the Big House this weekend following the incident at the end of last month following the Michigan State game.

Nearly two weeks after video showed multiple Spartans players punching and kicking Wolverines players Ja’Den McBurrows and Gemon Green in the tunnel postgame, Michigan has increased security between the Michigan Stadium field and the tunnel for this Saturday’s upcoming game against Nebraska. This weekend will mark the first time that the Wolverines will host a game since the Oct. 29 incident.

According to a statement released Thursday by Kurt Svoboda, Michigan athletic director for external communications and public relations, the athletic department and the Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security have conducted a review of game-day operations on the field and in the tunnel.
