Michigan's Shea Patterson Says His Eye Was Gouged in Pile vs. Penn St.

Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson told reporters that a Penn State player gouged his eye while the two were in a pile on the goal line of the Nittany Lions' 28-21 home win over the Wolverines last Saturday.

"Yeah, dude had his index finger in my eye, my whole—in my eye socket, for about, like I said, 10 seconds," Patterson said per Orion Sang of the Detroit Free Press. "That wasn't good."

The play in question occurred with Michigan down 28-14 and sitting at the Penn State 1-yard line with 8:48 left in the fourth quarter.
