A heated controversy erupted in the Michigan-Ohio State matchup, with fans accusing the Wolverines of cheating after the visitors' sideline lost communication with their headsets midway through the fourth quarter. The incident occurred when Ohio State was on the cusp of a major win, ultimately securing a 27-9 victory. According to reports, Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham made contact with a game official after a defensive play, prompting concerns about his behavior. Although Barham was assessed a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct, he remained in the game, sparking outrage among Ohio State fans. The loss of communication on the Michigan sideline has sparked allegations of intentional interference, with some fans claiming that the Wolverines 'cut off' the headsets. Ohio State's Julian Sayin led his team to victory, completing 19 of 26 attempts for 233 yards and one interception. The controversy comes on the heels of another incident in the game, in which Barham appeared to headbutt a game official. The play was widely criticized on social media, with many calling for the linebacker to be ejected from the game. The Michigan-Ohio State rivalry is known for its intensity, but this latest controversy has raised questions about the conduct of both teams.
