It might've been the first time in months LeGarrette Blount had fun.It was certainly the first time anyone outside of his teammates had seen him do it.
For the first time since sucker-punching Byron Hout after the Ducks' Week 1 loss against the Broncos, Blount carried the football in game.
When he finally made his way onto the field, Blount haad to quiet the roaring Autzen Stadium crowd, but the senior running back would make noise of his own once he finally got the ball in his hands midway through the third quarter. On his third carry, the 240-pounder bowled over heavy-hitting Beaver linebacker Keaton Kristick for a five-yard gain and a first down. On his next carry he bounced off a tackle at the line of scrimmage and rumbled 12 yards left for a touchdown to pull the Ducks within two points, 30-28.
After the scored, Blount leapt in to the air celebrating with teammates. It was a relief 12 weeks in the making.
Blount was originally suspended indefinitely for the punch, but was reinstated by head coach Chip Kelly Nov. 9. Since then, he has served as the team's No. 3 tailback and had yet to receive a carry.
Blount rushed four times for 21 yards and a touchdown on his first series back.
The winner of Thurdsay night's "Civil War" battle between Oregon and Oregon State will take the Pac-10 title and berth in the Rose Bowl.
Oregon led 34-33 at the end of the third quarter.
