What is this crap where teams are acting like they're hurt so they can stop the clock?
I mean I rewatch The Ole Miss game and I seen at least four times where I believe they faked the injury and one time where it was absolutely 100%.
Every time one of their guys got hurt he'd lay there for a few minutes, the trainers would come out there, and then he would get up and walk without any injury visible. These guys were coming back in the game afterwards.
Lane kiffin is a cheating little bitch and I guarantee you that's him doing that. Kiffin literally using fake injuries to stop momentum in the game or get his team time to rest.

Ole Miss won't win anything significant with that mentality. Makes you appreciate programs like Bama a little more

I am glad this topic has become part of the Kiffin hate bandwagon this week, even nationally thanks to the funny video with the RB. But let's not forget that Stoops has used that masterfully over the past half decade, especially against the high tempo teams like Tenn and Ole Miss. In this game we didn't need it much but we are definitely not innocent either. I even think Rybka going down in the 2nd half that one time might have been similarly strategic

The NCAA is scared of the issue: punish one kid/team with an actual injury and it gets ugly.

I like the idea others have proposed: a certain amount of time spent on the bench for any injured player. . . to both protect him and the integrity of the game.

Maybe for a quarter.

I was brought up under the Jim Brown mentality, "never let your opponent see you laying on the field hurt." That said, Ole Miss opponents should do this all the time to slow down their hurry up, if it's allowed. I think UK did it once or twice.

Everyone fakes injuries, including UK. Ole miss one was pretty egregious though lmao.

Loved the play by play guy making fun of them and calling it out when it happened.

Yeah, we can’t cast too many stones, we’ve been guilty of it from time to time. Think we might have even did it ourselves towards the end of the game. But Ole Miss was doing it multiple times on the same drive. It was patently obvious. If you’re going to fake an injury. At least limp or something when you get up.

When have we faked injuries?

O.T. Question….on Ole Miss’s first scoring play they quick snapped before the defense even got back to the line of scrimmage. So knowing they were going to do that, could the d lineman just stay back and blast the QB or RB as soon as the ball was snapped? Penalty for offsides is still the same.

I’d say until the end of the offensive/defensive series. Enough time to argue it’s for player health, and enough time to dissuade faking it.

The most pathetic one was the running back. Thought it very strange, like what they trying to do? Slow their own momentum? I can't ever remember a UK offensive player doing it. It usually only happens when the defense is trying to slow down the opponent's offensive momentum. I was half expecting him to ice his own kicker after I saw that. lol

Didn’t we fake one later in the game and it gave them time to review the play before Ole Miss could run another play? It was beneficial for us.

Yes but with how quick Ole Miss is to snap it was a necessary evil.
I will admit we have faked injuries in the past too but not on the level Kiffen does

I think Octavious went down after the fumble by the WR.

But that was a real injury (or at least he sold it well), and not the obvious flop.

Uhhhh,

See how subjective/difficult it is?!?

Of all of the causes we can take up this should be at the bottom. We have done this as much as anybody in this new era of fast snap offenses
 
The thing is there are fake injuries and there are FAKE ones. I don't recall ever seeing one quite that obvious.

GO CATS

I'm surprised so many are onboard with this. You have to consider if Dane Key or Brown et al have a cramp or anything that would just take a couple minutes to recover from being basically ejected early in the 4th quarter of a tight game. There was a thread on the Ole Miss board of their fans expressing outrage over all the fake injuries..

i think 3 plays would help curb some of it... and even Key or Brown get a legit cramp that they have to "go down" from, is not a couple minute recovery... it is a lest a few plays, I see it every week to my best athletes, for some it is a a series or two of stretching, massaging and ice.

Point is they should be able to return whenever physically ready. This would be saying I'm good with punishing the innocent in your zest to slow the guilty. Sounds like a solution worse than the actual problem to me. I forget the name of the English judge who said it is better to let 20 guilty men go as opposed to convicting one innocent man in your pursuit.

100% disagree... very, very few "legit" injuries take just a play to recoup from... if a player is really hurt/injured enough to "go down on the field" . They ain't coming back next play.

Ole Miss to address suspicions of faking injuries

Ole Miss said it has been in contact with the SEC and the national coordinator for football officiating after suspicions were raised that the Rebels tried to stifle South Carolina's momentum by "feigning injuries" in last week's game.

Mmmm hmmmm....bout time this faking shit put to bed. Lane Kiffin is a cheating little bitch.

Should be awarded at least a 1st down for doing it against the vols, just to see Chumlee looking like a homeless special needs person with a blank stare.
 
I know this isn't a common or maybe even a popular take but I have no problem with it at all. If these coaches want to go at break neck speed then I have no problem with the defense slowing them down a little here and there. The defense is already at a disadvantage compared to the offense. Until there is a rule against it and I don't see how they could make one then it is fair game to me. Now if a player gets hurt or fakes it and you want to make him sit out the rest of that series that would be ok to me.
