Montgomery was involved in a brawl that broke out on Saturday in Ames against the Baylor Bears — when Montgomery was hit in the helmet by Baylor’s Greg Roberts, he retaliated by throwing a punch of his own and was ejected for fighting.

Mongtomery ranks second in the conference in yards per game rushing.
The 5’11, 219-pounder entered the Baylor game with 158 carries for 712 yards and six touchdowns. So while his 4.51 yards per carry average isn’t sensational, Montgomery is known for his elite ability to break tackles.
