College Football at its’ worst took place in the game between the Boise State Broncos and the Oregon Ducks. At it worst, because of infamous punch thrown by runningback by LeGarrette Blount. Blount’s Punch was what most talked about as evident as it receives press in my post instead of the game that both teams played. Boise State won the game by the score of 19 to 8. I am fan of college football, and it is good that Blount was suspended for the attack. I know college football is fueled by adrenaline and emotion, but restraint and discipline is necessary. Blount showed neither; therefore, he must watch his team go into battle without him. Many would say he did not deserve such a harsh punishment, but in this case the punishment fits the crime. His punch was reaction to Hout’s taunt, but his reaction was costly, and it is not needed in the game.
Blount showed no respect for the game and fans that came to see two teams leave it all on the field, instead, they will have the memory of punch and atrocious behavior of an undisciplined football player. He will have more than enough time to think of his actions, because his college football career is done.
Blount gave an apology, but the punishment was still the correct action. Experts think that he also hurt his potential draft stock and I totally agree. I know I would think long and hard before I use a draft pick to select a player that cannot control his temper and restrain some of that emotion. If you want to fight go to the UFC’s Octagon because with that one punch LeGarrette Blount’s season and career is done.
