A UM official confirmed to mlive.com that one person in attendance at Saturday’s was kicked out of Michigan Stadium after he allegedly assaulted an unnamed OSU football player. Specifically, the website wrote, "[t]he man was ejected for ‘grabbing or slapping’ an Oregon State player’s helmet as the player was walking in the tunnel near the field.”

The site added that the unnamed “man was identified by security and other fans in the section, and was removed from the stadium.”

The fan could also face criminal charges in connection to the incident as campus police have been in contact with prosecutors regarding the incident. UM police are seeking authorization to arrest the man.
