LeGarrette Blount is not to be trifled with

What a shame that the only excitement from the Smurf Turf showdown came from a sucker punk after the game. LeGarrette Blount certainly was fired up--I'm guessing he's a bit of a talker on the field, but does not enjoy getting called out when the Ducks lay an egg.
Neither team looked sharp (combined for 5 TOs), but credit Boise for doing a better job on both sides of the ball. Their first TD happened because of a great pick up block by the running back, which gave Kellen Moore the time to make the throw. On defense, they flummoxed Jeremiah Masoli, and clearly frustrated Blount. Although I will say, that was a legit punch he threw-- even if the guy he hit was clearly caught off guard and off balance, a dude that size does not go down easily. Of course, not a good idea to throw blows, regardless of what happens on the field. Hey Champ--maybe you should stop talking for a while. Maybe sit the next couple plays out, you know?

As for the other national game, South Carolina looks about like they have for the past four or five years. Great defense, but the offense struggles big time. Steven Garcia just does not look like a big time college QB under pressure.
But both South Carolina and Boise State are undefeated, with wins over known teams. As for Oregon, expect their offense to sputter even more without Blount for the foreseeable future. They didn't pick up a first down until halfway through the third quarter. A credit to the defense that the game didn't get out of hand earlier--at least until it literally got out of hand courtesy of LeGarrette "Not-so-sharp" Blount.
He was even ready to go into the crowd and go toe-to-toe with the fans. Yikes.
Ironic that it was assistant coach Scott Frost that held Blount back--if you may recall, Frost allegedly got beaten up by teammate Lawrence Phillips while at Nebraska. Blount may not be to that level of crazy, but just in case, let's hide the car keys and keep him away from the IM field. Just to play it safe...
