Michigan State Reviewing Fouls On DE Gholston

The Michigan State Spartans are conducting an internal review of a potential unsportsmanlike conduct by defensive end William Gholston during Saturday's victory against the Michigan Wolverines.

Gholston was flagged twice, for punching Michigan offensive lineman Taylor Lewan and twisting the helmet of quarterback Denard Robinson.

"We are in the process of completing our internal review of the matter," Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said in a statement. "We are thoroughly reviewing the entire game and utilizing all of the available resources: coaches' video from midfield and end zone cameras, TV copy as well as still photographs. Once the internal review is completed, we will forward a written report on to the Big Ten. The conference office won't discuss a timeline for this process and neither will we."

Gholston remains listed as a starter on the Spartans' depth chart against Wisconsin. The conference handbook requires a school to submit a report to the commissioner on any potential unsportsmanlike conduct within three business days of being notified, which gives Michigan State until Wednesday to reply.
