Following the immediate aftermath of the fight, Michigan running back Kalel Mullings told FOX Sports in an on-field interview the incident was “bad for the sport.”

“It was such a great game. You hate to see stuff like that happen after the game. Bad for the sport, bad for college football. But, at the end of the game, they gotta learn how to lose, man. You can’t be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game.

“We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting, and now people want to talk and fight. That’s wrong. It’s bad for the game — classless, in my opinion — and people want to be better.”
