All players are told to get on the ground if they are injured so the medical staff can come to them to check them out. That's why you now see players go down a few seconds after the play ends. This is particularly true with cramps late in games. No point in trying to belly crawl to the sideline. Seems to be part of the new emphasis on safety. Who knows whether we fake injuries or not?
The only thing "low class" going on are the fans who boo them.
I remember the end of the Cap One Bowl in 2009 where we were driving for the winning FG. We ran a play up the middle, the clock was running. Our RB set the ball on the ground so we could hurry up to the next snap. A Penn State player comes out of nowhere and jumps on top of the ball. One of our players reacts and pulls the Penn State player off the ball drawing a personal foul penalty pushing us back 15 yards. Don't remember if we got the 50+ yard FG off or not. But we lost.
In the press conference after the game the Penn State player was asked if he was intentionally trying to delay the game. He smiled and laughed and said "My team won. That's all that matters."
It's a game. You do what you have to win. Just like the 2009 Cap One game this will be quickly forgotten and all people will know is LSU beat Iowa.

Yep. The coaching point is to not try to hobble to the sidelines if you get a cramp or whatever. Just get down. Maybe they are exaggerating but they're not faking. Totally different, in my opinion, from situations like the Cal defenders who were getting signals in from the sidelines to collapse.
