Oregon has suspended running back LeGarrette
Blount for the remainder of season for punching Boise State
defensive end Byron Hout after Thursday's loss.
Blount's suspension includes any bowl games. Coach Chip Kelly
says he will remain on scholarship.
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 to the No. 14 Broncos. No criminal charges were filed.
