LeGarrette and Byron: Opinions

Here are some thoughts:

What LeGarrette Blount did night before last was outrageous, as he acted like a thug. As for Byron Hout, he was no angel, either. I don't know what the Boise State defensive end said to the now-suspended Oregon running back, but that, along with tapping Mr. Blount's shoulder pad certainly got ol' LeGarrette going.

Here are thoughts from Dennis Dodd and Gregg Doyel.

Sucker Puncher Finished As Duck

Well, buddy, this is what you get for punching an opposing player (even if provoked) and threaten to cause problems for the other team's home fans.

He may as well kiss his shot at an NFL career goodbye as well.

Ducks Fall At Boise State

At Boise, Idaho:

In the regular season opener for both teams, #14 ranked Boise State knocked off Oregon for the second straight year, beating the 16th-rated (AP poll) Ducks 19-8 at home Thursday night. Broncos' quarterback Kellen Moore complete 19 of 29 pass attempts for 197 yards and a touchdown. After the game, Ducks running back LaGarrette Blount, who earlier predicted an Oregon beatdown of the hosts, punched Broncos' defensive end Byron Hout and had to be restrained from fans heckling him.

Not exactly an auspicious debut for Ducks new head football coach Chip Kelly, who had been Oregon offensive coordinator for the past two years.
