Eastern Michigan University quarterback Mike Glass III accidentally socked a referee -- sending him crashing to the floor -- before being thrown out of the football game.
EMU and Univ. of Pittsburgh were playing in the Quick Lane Bowl when a scuffle broke out late in the 4th quarter. Glass smacked Pitt LB Cam Bright in the face mask … before uncorking a strike intended for another Pitt player that hit a referee in the face.
The ref immediately went down … while the other officials attempted to restore order.
Glass -- who was 28-50 for 311 yards and 2 TD's and an interception -- was hit with 2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and ejected from the game.
