VIDEO: Eastern Michigan Quarterback Punches Referee During Quick Lane Bowl
Eastern Michigan quarterback Mike Glass III just punched a referee. Yes, that's something that actually happened during the waning moments of the Quick Lane Bowl.
After smacking Pitt defender Cam Bright in the face mask, Glass rose up and took a swing at Pitt's Paris Ford but nailed the official before he could land the punch. Glass was ejected after that mess.

It was a fantastic bowl game that obviously will be marred by the ugliness at the end. Glass III is a senior so it's really awful that his career will end on such a sour note. It was certainly not his finest moment.
