LeGarrette Blount's Punch-Out

Now that LGB's football career is over, he should seriously consider boxing, or MMA fighting. That right jab he threw last night at Boise State's Byron Hout was WICKED!

Check it out here.

Now, about the game....

Five years ago, Boise State vs. Oregon would invoke very little thought, little hype, little excitement....if any. However, after BSU won the Fiesta Bowl in 2006, and throttled Oregon in 2008 (in addition, DESTROYING Jeremiah Masoli on a late hit), the way has been paved for a great showdown between two teams that, on the surface, are light-years away from each other in seemingly every aspect of a college football program. Nevertheless, they went into last night's game with essentially the same national rank, and enough history to make opening night in college football actually exciting.
Those of you that watched the game, know how badly Oregon sucked, but you also know how many times BSU tried to lose. Not capitalizing on turnovers and mistakes (BSU had two missed field goals, and 3 fumbles) is going to be the death of a team like Oregon if they can't get their offense ticking. The defense actually looked pretty good. Kellen Moore had to make some pretty damn good passes to keep drives alive, and it certainly seemed as if they got lucky at times. Having said that, BSU running backs were slippery last night because I can remember atleast 6 to 7 rushes that should have been stopped in the backfield or on the line, that turned into 8 to 10 yard gains. Nicht so gut Oregon D.
The Oregon offense was 1 for 10 in 3rd down efficiency, and that ONE came midway through the 3rd quarter. When Portland State plays Oregon State on Saturday, I am willing to bet that they, even by accident, get a first down in the first half.
Truth be told, I'm not an Oregon fan whatsoever. The Portland media has just force-fed me for so long that I can't help but observe how they do year in and year out. I see them righting the ship a little and finishing 3rd in the Pac-10 behind USC and Cal.
I am looking forward to BYU/Oklahoma tomorrow. I hope its atleast competitive, and I would love to watch Max Hall throw for 300+ yards. If he does that, the Cougs will win.
