Picture of PSU dust-up during practice?

OMG... 2 football players got angry with each other during training camp and got into a little fight... STOP the presses. These guys should be kicked off the team FOREVER. Franklin should be fired because he obviously has no control over the team. And the NCAA should step in and hit the program with extreme sanctions because it is obviously lacking any sort f institutional control.
Clifford on Thorpe for going on 1 instead of 2
Screw discussion - let's have some "Caption this pic" fun.
Don't make fun of my helmet!! My mother made it for me!!!
My son and his friend were wrestling outside and it got carried away the other day. I called the local paper, but they didn’t want the video. No idea why.
I like the QB having a little fire to him and taking on a line man. I see this as a positive
Was this ever posted and discussed?

I love CJ Thorpe. He's the kind of guy you WANT on the OL. You want a nasty streak and a guy who is going to finish every block.

What's with the snark from Snyder? 'To the surprise of no one?' - jeez. Clifford is lucky Thorpe didn't decide to throw a punch - that said, I like when guys are fired up. Good for Clifford - needs to remember his weight class though (and that Thorpe is a guy who holds a key to his health).
EDIT: It's not Clifford; likely Windsor.

We can use some fire on both sides of the ball.
Look more closely ... that is NOT Clifford. The dude in the pic is much thicker and is wearing the heavy duty leg braces typically worn by lineman.

I think it’s Windsor (would make more sense than Clifford)

Does it surprise you that Thorpe was in the middle of it? Not me, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing either.
Nice catch. Also, would Clifford be wearing a glove on his throwing hand?? Maybe he has in the past and I haven't noticed. I'd agree it's likely Windsor. The number on the front of the jersey certainly isn't a "1".
IF (it's not) But IF that were Clifford, he'd be the World's All-Time Dumbest QB ........ Any QB who would fight with his OL -- the guys protecting him -- would have to be really stupid. Typically QBs are buying their OL free diners...... not throwing hay-makers at them.

It was reported at the time as being Thorpe and Windsor. (FWIW)
I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that after a month of training camp an OL and DL mix it up a little. That is completely unheard of.
You would never see anything like this happen at Ohio State or Michigan.
Thank God the intrepid media covering Penn State are there to bring us all the deep dark secrets.

Obviously someone called Sidney Crosby Cyndi and that did not go over well.
I hope not. Why would your OG be smashing your QB. Our OL might be shaky but hopefully not that shaky.
To my eye, Clifford looks to be the one on the left, seemingly irrelevant if we are to read anything into this picture. The white kid being restrained looks like he also has a #4 on the back of his jersey, which could be the second digit. But he does not look big enough to be a lineman, much less a DT. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Windsor lost his cool.
Count me within the minority that doesn't think it is good to "play with emotion." I want a team that plays smart, a team that uses their intellect to play as hard as they can but in a controlled fashion. I'll take the kid that knows how to take the right angle and wraps up over the kid that runs and hits recklessly -- a penalty machine.

So that is a 279 pound kid being restrained? I can buy that the one on the left is Gonzalez. Hard to tell size when part of the person is blocked out. Not sure about #94 though.
This is why they shouldn't let reporters at practice. I am guessing that is why Audrey Snyder was there? Lets make something out of nothing and create a story. Who cares who it is, football is an emotional sport, if you don't have some balls and a fire in you to hit someone then you shouldn't be playing. These guys are competing for playing time and I am sure emotions are running high at this point because they have been practicing against each other for weeks and need to hit an opponent.
