Ohio State reporter Stephanie Otey got a pit of pepper spray to the face after cops unleashed the stinging fluid during a postgame brawl on Saturday.
The Michigan Wolverines beat the Buckeyes yet again, snatching their fourth straight win over their rivals, and tried rubbing salt in the wound by sticking a flag into the home team’s logo.
This led to quite a skirmish, with multiple players jumping in before cops got things under control. Unfortunately, they employed pepper spray, with Stephanie finding herself in the firing line.

“You would not be opening your eyes and you would be in severe pain stop with the drama you didn’t get nailed by it you got some airborne residual,” a third comment read.
