In case you missed this ugly event from last evening, here's the video.
Running back LeGarrette Blount has been suspended for the rest of the season for his actions Thursday night, ending his career at Oregon.
The suspension would remain in effect through the bowl season, if the Ducks are invited, but Blount will remain in school, on scholarship and in the football program - through any bowl games the Ducks may play in - and will practice and have access to the school's support services.
He just won't be allowed to play in games.
After a 19-8 loss to Boise State on Thursday night, Blount punched Broncos linebacker Byron Hout, who appeared to be taunting him, in the face. Blount also shoved and punched teammate Garrett Embry and charged some fans in the Bronco Stadium stands.
Blount finishes his Oregon career with 997 rushing yards, including the negative-5 yards he ran for Thursday night, on eight carries.
Blount punched BSU linebacker Byron Hout in the face after Hout appeared to be taunting him, then Blount took a shot at teammate Garrett Embry before charging at some fans behind the end zone at Bronco Stadium. The Pac-10 Conference also will review tape of the incident.
