Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson said Tuesday night that his eyes were gouged during a fourth-quarter touchdown in Saturday's 28-21 loss at Penn State.
The play in question: a fourth-and-goal quarterback sneak from the 1, during which Patterson was stuck underneath a pile while trying to reach for the touchdown.
It was during those moments, as he fought to extend the ball, that the incident occurred.
“Yeah, a little bit," Patterson said when asked about it.
