Kragthorpe told the Louisiana website, the punch came out of nowhere and he was struck in the pacemaker.
He said that the entire incident began when Texas A&M wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig approached LSU coaches immediately after the game.

"Dameyune Craig started the whole thing," Kragthorpe told The Advertiser. "Just trash talking and yelling and screaming a bunch of crap."
Craig was on LSU’s staff two years ago, but was fired by current head coach Ed Orgeron.
Southeastern Conference officials have not commented on the fight, but said they have been in contact with both schools.
