Barham’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalty gave Ohio State an automatic first down but Michigan’s defense limited them to a field goal, maintaining a narrow lead, officials said.
- On Saturday, Nov. 29, Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham headbutted a referee late in the first quarter and was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
- After a Michigan tackle for loss, Barham approached the referee and appeared to demonstrate an Ohio State player's action amid the heated Michigan–Ohio State rivalry.
- Commentators said the contact could have led to an ejection, but the fourth-year senior Jaishawn Barham remained in the Michigan lineup.
- The penalty converted a third-and-goal from Michigan's 5-yard line into an automatic first down for Ohio State, and after a false start, they settled for a field goal.
- Fans and media online questioned why Barham wasn't ejected and photos circulated calling the near headbutt a rare, widely shared moment.
