WATCH: Michigan flagged for unsportsmanlike penalty for removing JK Dobbins shoe after tackle

Apparently all is fair in rivalry games. Watch as Michigan defenders untie and remove Ohio State RB JK Dobbins shoe after a tackle.

It seems like we see the weird and bizarre sometimes during rivalry games, and we’ve got one for you that happened in the first half of The Game between Ohio State and Michigan.

Buckeye running back J.K. Dobbins is having himself a game, and apparently the Michigan defenders are willing to do about anything to slow him down. Yes, even untie and take his shoe off. The act actually resulted in a 15-yard penalty as the referee was right on top of the play when it happened.

Watch the below captured by Kevin McGuire. Not really sure what to say about this, but chalk it up to something we’ve never seen before in the annual grudge match between Ohio State and Michigan.
