NEW : Oregon Football Player LeGarrette Blount Punch Video - Byron Hout Floored

Byron Hout was floored by a sucker punch that was caught on video and broadcast in high definition by ESPN as Oregon Football Player LeGarrette Blount landed the punch after the game was over.  While most thought the score was settled with a Boise State victory 19-8 over the Oregon Ducks, Blount's late punch said otherwise.

Oregon Football Player LeGarrette Blount Punch Video - Byron Hout Floored

On the film clip you can see Byron Hout go up to LeGarrette Blount and pop him on the shoulder pads and say something to the Oregon player.  He answers with an (expletive) you! and then lays a hard right hand square on the jaw sending the defensive end to his knees!  Hout already had removed his helmet and it is a boxer like punch, complete with a bit of spit flying out of the Boise State player's mouth.

He isn't knocked out though as he gets back up. That starts the back and forth and it eventually seems to be between Blount and one entire end of the stadium.  He looked out of control and had to be restrained by security and coaches as he seemed to want to go into the stands and fight some of the fans that were raining taunts on the player.  ESPN has the video here.

Should he be suspended for the year?  He apologized immediately.  "It was just something that I shouldn't have done," said Blount, who had eight carries for a loss of five yards. "I lost my head."
