LSU fans acting like they didn’t make this practice mainstream


At least we had the courtesy to do it before everyone was lined up and ready to go

I feel there needs to be some sort of punishment for something this blatant in order to prevent it. Keep the player out for the rest of that quarter and the following one, or if they can pin point the coach who directed them to do it, suspend them for the next game. Doing this is pure cheating and avoids having to call a time out.

It’s a little different when the player is involved with the tackle and may or may not be hurt. Everyone who played football knows that even if you’re not truly “hurt”, sometimes you don’t feel great after a tackle.

It's hard to always assume it's not an injury vs. is.

What I would do is say if you come out on a drive due to needing medical attention on the field you are not allowed back on the field until change of possession. I think this is the best way to counteract this trend and maybe get cramping players off the field on their own (like they used to) instead of the constant stopping of the game to treat that or the fake injuries.

If you want to fake an injury, go for it, but you're not allowed back on the field until change of possession. Could call this a player safety thing in the end for coverup

That was such a grotesque injury.

So hard to watch that again.

Guys. Quit with this. LSU does the same thing. I was at the Bama game 15 rows from the field. Right in front of me two LSU dlinemen went/stayed down after a play. They were both grabbing their legs as though they were hurt. Bama had already chosen to substitute, and when they saw that they both immediately got up. They faked for about two seconds.

Everyone does it!



You don't see the difference between slowing down an offense vs waiting until the offense is about to snap the ball and feigning an injury?

One is a shitty tactical move that 'everyone' does,
and one should be an unsportsmanlike penalty and DQ the player for the remainder of the drive.

Do you know if there is a GoFundme account set up? I would like to contribute to help cover funeral expenses.


I am devastated that I enjoyed the game so much and this young man's family must be grieving.

I am almost leaning toward how hockey, baseball and basketball handle an injury.

Once the next play is set in motion (in football it would be the offense is set at the line), the injury doesn't stop play until an natural break which would be the whistle on completion of the play.

It is one thing if a player is down at the whistle but its crap when it happens after the offense breaks the huddle. Hell its a timeout without being charged a timeout.

Will never be able to penalize for it, too subjective. And, as stated earlier everybody does it.

I don't know if I've ever seen it in the first quarter or early in the second quarter, though.

The A&M safety didn't even like that. Watch him in the video.

I don't know why everyone is giving the guy a hard time. He obviously had a hema-tomato of the knee cap that caused immediate narcissism of the right thigh bone.
