The Michigan – Michigan State football rivalry was reignited on Saturday, Oct. 20 when players from both teams were involved in a pregame altercation during warmups which included one player intentionally defacing the Michigan State midfield logo at Spartan Stadium.
After tempers flared and players could be seen jawing back and forth, Wolverines linebacker Devin Bush was seen running his cleats through the logo which then had to be repainted.
FOX Sports shared a close-up video of the altercation.
