Penn State QB Matt McGloin Not Yet Cleared After Practice Fight Injury

Jones and Thomas did not travel with the team to Dallas due to “academic reasons.”

Meanwhile, Drake and Kersey did not make the trip due to “personal reasons.”

According to McGloin (via The Post-Gazette), the fight was his fault and his injury was an accident. According to McGloin, he slipped and hit his head on the concrete floor at the Lasch Football Building after ten seconds of fighting.

Interim coach Tom Bradley said Monday that McGloin and Drake “will face internal discipline.” Bradley has not name a starting quarterback for Penn State’s bowl game and has not announced that McGloin has been cleared to play yet.

The Penn State interim coach said Bolden will be punished internally.

The situation, however, may have been more serious than just the fight. McGloins’ father told the Patriot-News the Penn State quarterback was being checked for a possible seizure following the incident.

Later, McGloin’s father apparently confirmed a seizure (via Ron Musselman).

We’ll hope McGloin is all right, but that doesn’t sound good.

McGloin played in all 12 games for Penn State this season, functioning as the lead quarterback in a pitching rotation that started to work itself out at the end. Drake had five catches for 102 yards, two of which came in the last game of the season against Wisconsin.

But our own Ben Jones of Penn State blog Black Shoe Diaries reports McGloin took quite a bit of damage during the altercation, though it’s not clear whether Drake was actually involved:
