Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount for season

By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer

EUGENE, Ore.(AP)—After watching the tape of the punch that Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount threw at Boise State’s Byron Hout, Ducks first-year coach Chip Kelly knew what he had to do.

On Friday he told a sobbing Blount of his decision: That punch would cost Blount the season, and ultimately his career with the Ducks.

“He understands that his actions are unacceptable. We will not put up with that,” Kelly said. “That is not the University of Oregon football, that is not the University of Oregon.”

Blount punched Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the jaw following the 16th-ranked Ducks’ 19-8 loss to the 14th-ranked Broncos on Thursday night.

Kinda harsh...

You pump up these kids to be terribly aggressive out there, and hitting the off switch sometimes is not the easiest thing in the world...I would have given him 3-5 games...

I agree also that the punishment was a little excessive. Ducks have no depth at RB this year as they failed to recruit one this year. They were not expecting 2 top RB prospects to leave during the spring and now Blount gone for the year.

I think the Ducks may be holding open tryouts for RB this week, anybody insterested? LOL
