McGloin takes blame for fight

THE quarterback of Penn State was taken to hospital after a locker room fight with a teammate, said the university, which is struggling to restore its image from a child sex abuse scandal.

Matt McGloin said yesterday he was knocked unconscious when he hit his head on the concrete floor of the team’s locker room after a brief scuffle with wide receiver Curtis Drake.

McGloin accepted full responsibility for the fight, which he said included several punches and lasted about 10 seconds.
