Punches, pirouettes and pick-sixes highlight Round 3 of Boise State vs. Oregon

Well, it just wouldn’t be a Boise State-Oregon football game without a punch.

Late in the third quarter with Oregon facing third-and-2, the Broncos and Ducks engaged in a bit of bad behavior when Boise State linebacker Tyson Maeva punched Oregon receiver Dillon Mitchell in the helmet.

Not knowing who punched him, Mitchell responded by backhanding Boise State cornerback Avery Williams.
