What looked like a thrilling end to the Quick Lane Bowl Thursday turned ugly when Eastern Michigan quarterback Mike Glass III was ejected from the game in the final seconds after throwing a couple punches, one clipping an official.
The incident happened moments after Pitt scored a touchdown to take a 34-30 lead.
There was an incomplete pass and Glass got into it with a Pitt player. He threw a punch at Cam Bright, then another one at Paris Ford, which hit the center judge who fell to the turf.
Glass was called for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and ejected. Gipson was flagged for one unsportsmanlike. The penalties offset and Eastern Michigan’s next play went for an incompletion that doused their hopes for victory.
