Anyone have a clip of the Ole Miss player feigning injury after looking at the sidelines?

With about 7 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, LSU got a first down and tried to hurry up to get a play off before it was reviewed. After the fake injury, with time to review, it was called it back, saying he was down (although very close, I am still not convinced he was down).

The announcers commented on it. A guy fell to the ground after looking at the sideline and getting the signal to fake an injury.

After all the talk about Kiffin with the fake injuries, this would be very damning to him should it go viral.

That was #51 I believe

We were calling it the magic tent because they’d all go in with a limp and 2 seconds later would walk out healed

I really havent gotten to bothered by all the fake injury stuff but damn just about every injury to an OM player happened on a big critical play… more than coincidence

It needs to be a reviewable thing.



The broadcast show that he was signaled in from the sidelines and was fine and then drops to the ground.


I get the hesitancy from officials to call it real time but that should be looked at.

yeah, there's a slippery slope if I've ever seen one but they need to address this, maybe something like when a player's helmet comes off and has to sit out a play? when they started that shite I noticed, didn't have a program or depth chart, that the player feigning injury wasn't a starter though

Kiffin has always been one to use the rules to the max. I think he doesn’t appreciate the rule and is using it excessively and blatantly to not only gain an advantage but to also make a point about it.

Found one video but I am looking for one that shows the play followed by the hurry up attempt, followed by the feign.

He was down. Not only did his knee touch, the back of his wrist was down. Easy call.

If you go down for an extended amount of time that affects gameplay, you should have to sit out the series.

Fake injuries will stop immediately

Make it a penalty if coaches are caught signaling to go down. Automatic 1st down. Makes the review almost moot at that point.

He was down, pretty clearly. HOWEVER...

Ole Piss loves the HUNH/tempo offense, and one reason for that is to specifically limit the ability of refs to review questionable calls that favor his offense.

Rushing a play to prevent a review is a staple of his team, and is perfectly legal. Teams do it all the time in both CFB and the NFL.

So his lame-arse fake injuries scheme is not only obvious, and blatant, it's also petulant because it denies opposing offenses an advantage he makes liberal use of when the runts have the ball.

THAT is what pisses me off more than anything else that entitled man child does.

GTHOM, and take Lame Kitten with you!

Let the league office review footage to start issuing suspensions to coaches and players involved and that nonsense will stop.

Maybe they need to put in a rule that if a player is injured or appears injured, they are out for that series to prevent or cutdown on the bogus flopping. If coach wants a player to return for that series, he would need to use a timeout or maybe take a penalty ??

Sean McD was HAMMERING Ole Miss on the broadcast about it…..every time they did it lol.

He was also hammering the officiating crew about overturning calls without clear evidence. He said “well if you are going to just go by what you “think” happened on the replay……..you may as well take the clear evidence language out of the rule”
