Emotions run high during rivalry week, especially in a conflict as longstanding and nasty as Ohio State-Michigan. Entering Saturday, the Buckeyes had taken seven of the last eight over the Wolverines. Early in the second quarter, running back J.K. Dobbins was running free, and the Michigan defense tried to throw him off by attempting to untie and take off his left shoe. Defensive linemen Carlo Kemp and Aidan Hutchinson combined to bring down Dobbins after a four-yard rush. Kemp held Dobbins’ leg while Hutchinson tried to untie the shoe. Eventually, the duo managed to remove his cleat and patted Dobbins on the back when they rose from the ground. The stunt didn’t go unnoticed — Kemp was assessed a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Dobbins polished off that drive with a touchdown for his second of three first-half TDs.
