Friendly reminder on the rule change Gus talked about last summer.

If you're going to look at rule changes, officials, we need to look at the guys on defense that are faking injuries to slow down these pace teams. That's where college football's going. You see more and more teams using pace. I think you'll see it more and more at the next level also.

I think we should all form a prayer circle and rejoice that Swain was able to resume his football career after an injury like that.

I think players like that shouldnt be allowed to return for the rest of the game. BTW, Did Swain return after that?

Gus a hypocrite?

No, never. No evidence he hasn't been his entire coaching career.

All that matters is the fact Bielema and Saban are pussies, if you can't beat them make a rule so you might have a chance to beat them. Pussies!

Swain did not return to the game and I believe he missed the next one as well.

He didn't slow down the pace of Arkansas... it's freaking Arkansas, they had no pace. And look at that gif, there's not a single Arkansas player at the LOS.

Auburn had no trouble substituting before that non play.

Also, don't forget to show the previous play he got injured on...

The player in the gif looks fine one second and then seems injured the next. Is this a new gif? Do you have any more like this one? So funny.

Swain is clearly looking at the sideline and drops. I believe he thought he was being signaled to drop and did. However, I believe he misread it which is what causes his fake to stand out so much.

There is very little doubt he faked the injury. Whether or not he was signaled to fake, misread a signal, or was confused about the call coming in and decided to fake on his own is left unclear. Gus pretty much confirmed it when, in response to questions about the issue, he said there would be no questionable plays like that going forward.

Dude, Auburn substituted it's entire defense on that play and was ready for the next play before Arkansas had broken the huddle. He was injured, couldn't get out.

Dude was injured, you're told to stay down if injured, he got up, hobbled, realized he couldn't keep up with the rest of his team that were flying on and off the field and hit the ground.

Sorry, doesn't erase how embarrassing this is for Saban to ask for a rule change because his team cannot keep up with the HUNH teams. Get a better S&C program and stop being a pussy. That's all.

Man up Saban.
