Harbaugh: Franklin at fault for UM-PSU tunnel tiff

The

Franklin made comments after the game, saying he would prefer there to be a buffer between when the teams enter the tunnel and go to their respective locker rooms. He said that having one tunnel is a problem and that there should be new policies created to prevent anything from happening in the future.

“All there has to be is a two-minute or minute buffer in between the two teams,” Franklin said at the time. “This team is in before that team gets close and however we want to do it. But we’re not the first team that’s had issues like that.

“To me, under the current structure, we won’t be the last.”

There were no reports of anything physical transpiring, but after the game, Michigan offensive lineman Trevor Keegan said his teammates claimed food was thrown.

“I didn’t get a sandwich thrown at me, but R.J. [Moten] came up to me and said, ‘I just got hit with a PB&J in the face,'” Keegan said. “So, I guess they were. I didn’t see that, but that’s what he told me.”

Harbaugh said he isn’t focused on the scuffle as he and his team prepare to face in-state rival Michigan State this week.
