EUGENE, Ore.(AP)—Oregon suspended running back LeGarrette Blount on Friday for the remainder of season for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout.
As Boise State began celebrating on their famous blue turf, Hout yelled in Blount’s face and tapped him on the shoulder pad. Before Broncos head coach Chris Petersen could pull Hout away, Blount landed a right to Hout’s jaw, knocking him to his knees.
Blount also had to be restrained by police officers from fans heckling him on the way to the locker room after No. 16 Oregon’s 19-8 loss Thursday to the No. 14 Broncos.
Blount’s suspension includes any bowl games. Coach Chip Kelly said Blount will remain on scholarship.
Hout will not be suspended for taunting Blount. Boise State spokesman Max Corbet told The Associated Press in an e-mail that Petersen planned to spend time with Hout this week to help him learn from what happened.
Mike Bellotti, who stepped aside as head coach to become Oregon’s athletic director this summer, said the Pac-10 was consulted about the punishment and supported Oregon’s decision.
Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was at the game and saw the altercation firsthand.
After the game, Blount apologized for his actions.
“It was just something that I shouldn’t have done,” said Blount, who had eight carries for a loss of five yards. “I lost my head.”
Regardless, Oregon University president Richard Lariviere called Blount’s behavior “reprehensible.”
“We do not and will not tolerate the actions that were taken by our player. Oregon’s loyal fans expect and deserve better,” Lariviere said in a statement. “The University of Oregon Athletics Department is reviewing the situation and will take appropriate action, reflecting the seriousness of the player’s behavior.”
In February, Blount was suspended indefinitely from the team for “failure to fulfill team obligations.” Bellotti did not share any details, elaborate at the time, but Blount reportedly missed offseason team meetings.
He was reinstated before spring practice.
Blount, a 6-foot-2, 240-pound transfer from East Mississippi CC, rushed for 1,002 yards and a school-record 17 touchdowns last season. |
On ESPN.com NFL scouts were talking about this kid being a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick, after this incident as many as 15 scouts said he would go undrafted and probably have to prove himself in the CFL.

| I love that Oklahoma lost already, because it'll add to the giant mess in the end if they can run the table now. |

I wish some one would beat Florida! I want to see a one loss team vs a two loss team in the BCS... so we can REALLY bitch about it!
And how about my Huskers win over Mizzu! Sure we'll spot you 12 points... sure we'll wait till the 4th quarter to score... 27 points later... BRING ON KANSAS! |

I'm still trying to figure out why you like the Huskers. I'm more of a Creighton fan, but several of my friends played there during college and had nothing nice to say about Nebraska.

Well... it all started years ago. My dad was a Husker fan, and believe it or not, but they used to broadcast the Huskers up here all the time (even a local radio station used to broadcast them.) Well on Saturday's, once cartoons were done... if you wanted to keep watching TV, you had to watch the Huskers (dad took control of the remote.) There was a couple years in junior high where I was a Irish fan (went to a catholic private school,) but shortly into high school I shed that crappy "ND" logo and took up the big red "N" for good.
I've actually joked many times how in Minnesota, we are Husker fans in public... but Gopher football fans when nobody is looking. |

That's cool. Northwestern is now 4-2. They need some big wins in the Big Ten to get a bowl birth.

The Gophers and Wildcats lost today. But Purdue upset Ohio State, believe that. And Iowa is now 7-0.
