Michigan’s Got Our Back: Support After OSU Attack

The whole of Columbus suffered tragedy Monday when OSU student and Columbus State graduate, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, attacked 11 other students and was ultimately shot to death to prevent further injury.

Since the Buckeyes are part of the Big Ten family, game rivals Michigan Athletics and their football players offered nothing but support via Twitter on Wednesday.

Stay safe, Buckeyes.

After Gene Smith offered a response of thanks, Michigan further stated their empathetic support.

.@OSU_AD Absolutely. This is much bigger than a rivalry. #BuckeyeStrong
