In the only action of his short career, McGloin completed 7/15 passes (46.7 percent) for 87 yards (5.8 yards per attempt) and a 65.1 passer rating in garbage time in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago.

In an ironic twist of events, he’ll be facing off against the Houston Texans and Case Keenum, which is a rematch of the Penn State-Houston TicketCity Bowl in January 2012. McGloin, a former walk-on for the Penn State Nittany Lions, has traveled the hard road in getting to this point, much like Keenum, who went from going undrafted after a record-breaking career with the Houston Cougars, to now being the starting QB for the hometown Texans.
