I guess it wouldn't be O/T if it happened in one of our cities.
Like this happened in Salt Lake City.
I wonder if the Ann Arbor police had extra cops on beat this weekend when the nation's #1 recruit was in town for a visit.
Or to guard against roaming bands of Mountaineer fans trying to ruin the experience for the recruit...
All kidding aside, this was a serious incident.

"Talk about it in Utah Football
Two University of Utah football players and a recruit were attacked Saturday night in Salt Lake City.
Utah's starting DE Paul Kruger was stabbed twice, once just beneath the ribs and another below the first in the abdominal area.
Utah defensive linemen Greg Newman and Paul Kruger were attacked and stabbed after leaving a party just before midnight. Paul's younger brother David Kruger, a four star defensive end and verbal commitment to the Utes, was also attacked.
According to early accounts, the three were walking down a street after leaving a gathering of recruits and their hosts when a car pulled up alongside the football players and the occupants started yelling at them. After exchanging words, the occupants got out of the car and attacked Newman and the Kruger brothers. "There was a fight involving multiple subjects. I've heard estimates between 10 and 15 people brawling in the street," Lt. Jay Southam of the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said.
