Does Video Show Ja’Den McBurrows Instigate Michigan State Fight?
An ugly incident occurred after Saturday’s showdown between Michigan and Michigan State.
Following a dominant 22-victory by the Wolverines, defensive back Ja’Den McBurrows found himself in the tunnel surrounded by Spartans.
It didn’t end well.
By now, everyone has seen the clip of multiple Michigan State players jumping McBurrows:

That said, some fans believe slightly different footage clearly shows McBurrows instigating what transpired.
This is the footage they opt to reference:
Yo look at this footage (end of the game). Watch the end Lol Ja’Den

Watch Ja’Den McBurrows at the end going into the tunnel…. I’m not saying he deserved a 10 on 1 beat down…but he look like he might have been poking the bear too @SamWebb77 @michiganinsider @TheMizOnAir https://t.co/WIf68Kb8yz

Looks like Michigan’s #1 and #22 went up into the tunnel with the majority of the Spartans. #1 is Ja’Den McBurrows. Perhaps #22 is the other player Harbaugh mentioned in the post game press conference? https://t.co/wKy2mk7UP2

Melissa Overton, who serves as the deputy chief of University of Michigan police, announced after the altercation went viral that the matter would be under investigation.
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh subsequently referred to what occurred as “assault.”
“Two of our players were assaulted,” he told the media. “You saw the one video, the 10 on 1. Pretty bad.”
One way or another, an investigation will reveal what truly happened here.
Big picture, this has been a memorable season for college football. Between refs seemingly openly cheating during games, Brian Kelly daughter’s provocative videos and Utah’s cheerleaders going wild – this most recent incident is almost par for the course.
2022 is just that kind of year for the sport.
Josh Allen and his girl just won Halloween. What a year for the Bills. https://t.co/MIMndzaMKX

Over the past 24 hours there has been a lot of online sleuthing as it pertains to this matter.
With the proper authorities probing what occurred on Saturday, the legal system will take it from here.
Hopefully by the time the investigation concludes the wronged parties involved will ultimately get the justice they deserve.
