One Punch and You’re Out!

The College Football season started off with a bang last night as Oregon Ducks RB LeGarrette Blount sucker punched Byron Hout a defensive player for the Boise State after a tough loss. The punch has resulted in a team suspension that’ll end this senior’s season and career at Eugene.

LeGarrette Blount was an elite running back that was due for a break out season at Oregon in 2009. The 6’2 240 lbs running back had first round draft pick written all over him, but with one punch his career could be in jeopardy. Without this monster RB the Oregon Ducks will no doubt suffer, Blount was a focal point for the team’s offense. The Ducks looked shaky in the season opener where they lost 19-8 to Boise State.

There’s no real reason why Blount would react the way he did, unfortunately there’s no taking it back. Hout yelled in Blount’s face and tapped him on the shoulder pad in celebration of the win which must have set the running back off. Before Boise State coach Chris Petersen could pull Hout away, Blount landed a right to Hout’s jaw, knocking him to his knees.
