Tunnel fight, suspensions stain Mel Tucker and Michigan State's ... (mlive.com)

Multiple Spartans were involved in a fight after Saturday's loss at Michigan. Four players were suspended following the incident.

It was from multiple Spartans [being involved in a fight in the Michigan Stadium tunnel](https://www.mlive.com/sports/2022/10/michigan-michigan-state-players-fight-in-postgame-tunnel.html) after the game. Tucker’s latest challenge in a fall marked by them will be getting his team regrouped and making the most of what’s left. That looks like a longshot with the last month of the schedule starting with a trip to No. Now 115 games into the series between Michigan State and Michigan that began in 1898, the annual in-state matchup has become increasingly toxic. The suspensions announced by Tucker and Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller late Sunday night were a start in cleaning up the mess. [have been suspended indefinitely](https://www.mlive.com/sports/2022/10/four-michigan-state-players-suspended-after-alarming-postgame-fight-at-michigan.html) and the investigation will continue to see if any other players deserve discipline. However, the actions by Michigan State players clearly were out of line and could result in criminal charges. Although it’s fortunate nobody appeared to be seriously hurt, it was an ugly moment that reflects very poorly on Michigan State’s program, the university and its head coach. Haller released a statement Sunday night calling the video evidence “alarming” while saying they’re working to make sure that conduct won’t be repeated. Michigan defensive back Gemon Green was also injured in an incident involving multiple players as video shows Crump swinging his helmet and hitting Green. Coming off an 11-win season and having now lost five of their last six games, this season has been a huge disappointment. This time it wasn’t for what happened on the field

I was right in the middle of the Michigan-Michigan State scuffle ... (Detroit Free Press)

Free Press sports writer Chris Solari was among those in the Michigan Stadium tunnel when the violence between Michigan and Michigan State occurred.

Unbeknownst to me in the moment, my phone captured 3 seconds of video of the wall and hallway and stopped upon being contacted. Another video of the field after the final whistle showed both he and McBurrows walked and skipped into the MSU entourage. It was impossible in the moment to see who was punching and who was kicking, but I saw both things happening from my vantage point. Of the three of us, I was nearest the door and got bumped backward by players as their momentum pushed them into me, using my hand in attempt to leverage whoever hit me from falling further down the hall. 1 — it was Ja’Den McBurrows after reviewing video later — and threw him back through the metal doors that remained open despite the U-M player hitting it after being tossed into them. A photographers room and the referees’ room also is in the same hallway. It was unclear how far down the tunnel things began or what started the altercation, but a cluster of players flooded past the doorway to my right and just as quickly swayed into our hallway. The hallway to the interview room is the first doorway those coming from the field approach. It is a common practice in sports journalism, particularly for me to get the story into later editions of the Sunday Free Press. A handful of Spartans passed the door headed toward their locker room. Then came the referees, who turned the corner and walked past us with an MSU team support staff member following them into the hallway, trying to get their attention to something that happened on the field. It happened in an instant and almost as fast as it blazed across the internet.
