re: Why Didn't One of Our OL Fake Hurt?

I wondered about that as well. I have to think it would constitute unsportsmanlike conduct, delay of game or something to fake it, but it's a time-honored tactic to one degree or another.
If you remember Hatch in the Auburn game last year, he was originally just walking off the field after he got his bell rung then dropped to the turf after coaches started motioning for him to go down. That was to give Lee time to warm up.
Alternatively, I wonder if somebody could have just taken a swing at an Ole Miss player to draw a dead-ball personal foul.
I don't think anybody is trying to blame the players for not coming up with something to stop the clock; just thinking through the possibilities. A lot to ask that anybody would be thinking that fast and clearly, anyway.

Agreed. I'm just saying, there are ways to stop the clock without a timeout, and apparently our coaches weren't thinking about that situation at all.

I think the refs would kill the game if we did that. I think there's some wording somewhere in the rules which gives them discretion in obvious cases like that.
