You'd think a duck would be no match for a cougar but not last weekend during a college ball game.

The University of Oregon's duck mascot has been suspended for a game, after getting into a fight with the Houston Cougar.

The Duck's feathers were ruffled when the Cougar apparently mimicked his trademark move by doing push-ups after a touchdown.

Oregon's athletic director said school representatives must be held to higher standards even if it's just the team's mascot duck.
