Suspended running back LeGarrette Blount has been reinstated by the Oregon Ducks.

Blount will be available to play Saturday when Oregon hosts Arizona State.

Blount was suspended for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the aftermath of Oregon's season-opening loss to the Broncos. He was suspended for the season by Kelly the next day, but allowed to continue practicing with the team.

Kelly later announced that Blount could be reinstated if he met certain conditions.

"I'm grateful to Coach Kelly that he cares enough to offer me this second chance," Blount said. "Now it is up to me to prove to people that their lasting impressions of me are not what they saw in Boise.

"When I am ready to address this further with the public and the media, I will do so," Blount added. "Until that time, I feel my actions can speak louder than anything I could say. I just want to help my teammates who have been supportive of me."

That's good he's been reinstated. He was provoked but time to move forward. Good move on Oregan's part for giving him a second chance.

Provoked? How so?

There's trash talkin' in just about every sport. If you don't have the self-control or discipline to play the sport at the collegiate level, my guess is you shouldn't play. Let's say for the sake of argument, he makes it to the pros. Then what? My guess is he'll be fined out the ass and it probably won't be a one time thing. Better have his checkbook ready.

It really didnt look that hard.... You can only punch so hard in full gear. And you generate power from your feet, he didnt really wind up looks like a jab to me.

He just lounged at him.

Naaaah, the coach said a few weeks ago that blount will be reviewed and possibly re instated after the Stanford game. Had nothing to do wit losing to Stanford. We all knew the announcement would come after the game.

You could throw some gear on Tyson, he still going to lay you out. It was a straight punch right on the button, not to mention a sucker punch. That shit would have laid out a lot of people. It's easy to say dude has a glass jaw when you ain't the one taking the hit.

In all honesty, they really dont need him. The offense has been MORE than fine with him out. Not sure what happened to their defense yesterday, however.

yea, we dont need him. James has been doing great since he took over.
ya exactly. Our offense is doing JUST fine without him.

Watch Oregon do worse.

Oregon is no joke though, they'll drop 7 points on you in seconds.
it could happen... Blount will take some of lamichael's carries. Oh well. It worked with j stew/johnson, last year was Johnson/blount, and it can work with James/blount this year.... Hopefully.
