The University of Washington won't comment on a troubling incident following the Apple Cup, when a fan punched and knocked down tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

It happened as fans rushed the field in the aftermath of Washington State's 31-28 overtime win over the Huskies.

In a video getting widely circulated around the Internet, you can see Seferian-Jenkins walking off the field when he was struck by a man near the 45 yard line at about the 13 second mark of the video.

Seferian-Jenkins didn't mention the incident in his post-game interviews, according to the Seattle Times. But he did address it later on Twitter in a post that has since been removed from his account: "I prayed for that man that struck me. He must have some issues #prayingforhim"

SB Nation's Coug Center isolated the incident in an animation and looked into it following the initial reports.

The fan hasn't been identified and there's no indication of what might have prompted the sucker punch. What is clear is that Seferian-Jenkins was merely walking in the other direction when the man came out of the crowd and hit him.

  There always has to be a fan like that, that makes the rest of them look bad. Hopefully, someone will rat out the loser and assault charges are filed. Enjoy the win and show some class, stupid!

  I hope they find him...

  As a Wazzu alum, this makes me so mad. I am glad they have this idiot on film because you know they'll find him. When they do find him, charge him with 1st degree assault, kick his butt out of school (if he even is a student), and then ban hin FOR LIFE from Martin Stadium and the new Husky Stadium. After that, let Sefarian-Jenkins wind up and give him a left hook. What a joke.

  refraining from taking a shot at the cougs for two reasons

  November 26, 2012 7:15 pm

  1) one idiot does not represent the school. 2) second, the huskies choked so stinking bad, as a husky fan I can't even muster a shot at the cougs. This game will go down as one of the worst losses in Husky land. So bad....that this punch is just icing on the cake. Had we won and he was punched, we'd be all over it.

  What? UW won't comment?

  November 26, 2012 8:23 pm

  Uh, how about WSU commenting on this since it happened in Pullman? Would they not be in charge of field security?This is not the first incident that has put these players, coaches & fans at risk. Both UW and WSU need to get this under control and agree to adopt some serious security improvements for these games. It is just a few bad apples but it's becoming much more frequent.
