BYU OL Throws Below-the-Belt Punch on Boise State Player During Scrum

During a first-half tug-of-war for the football in Saturday’s game between BYU and Boise State in Provo, Utah, Cougars offensive lineman Ului Lapuaho was caught punching Broncos safety Chanceller James right in the man region.

Update from Monday, Sept. 14

Lapuaho will not face a suspension for his actions, according to Greg Wrubell of Cougar IMG Sports Network:

"

Bronco says OL Ului Lapuaho has had internal team discipline imposed for his personal foul v. BSU; will not require missing any game time.

--End of Update--

First things first: Credit to James for not immediately relinquishing the rock. Any guy who's been hit down there with any sort of force will respect that toughness.

But seriously, what a total violation of man code from Lapuaho. He should have his man card revoked for at least six months—possibly more.

That's just something one guy doesn't do to another, on or off the gridiron.

Julius Hodge, a former NC State basketball player, should know. Chris Paul pulled the same stunt on him while he was at Wake Forest.
