Father: Penn State’s Starting Quarterback Suffered Seizure in Locker Room Fight With Teammate

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State’s Matt McGloin was released from the hospital Saturday after university police said they responded to a report of fight in the team locker room between the starting quarterback and backup receiver Curtis Drake.

The school released a statement Saturday night saying police were called after the team finished practice. McGloin was treated at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

McGloin’s father, Paul, told the Patriot-News of Harrisburg and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that his son suffered a seizure and a possible concussion but was back at his campus apartment. Messages left Saturday night by The Associated Press for Paul and Matt McGloin were not immediately returned.

The school said campus police and judicial affairs would investigate.

No. 24 Penn State is preparing for the TicketCity Bowl on Jan. 2 in Dallas.

    I wonder how hard he either got hit or hit his head on the floor or lockers, that he went into a seizure?
