It's the most effective scheme against fast paced HUNH attack. I understand when a player or two go down, it might be a coincidence. But when 6~7 players go down in multiple series to slow the game down, that's a legit cramp defense.

Going down then taunting the crowd walking off is legit IMO

You don't think they were cramping?

Legit as skying at the goal line, getting shutdown and throwing the ball at the ground so your guy can jump on it.

I don't see a difference between that and playing HUNH all game because you can't man up

Actually it makes more sense that it isn't a fake because they team as a whole isn't conditioned enough this early. One random cramp looks more suspicious.

Shut the frick up. They started taunting the crowd because the crowd was dirt fricking dick munchers who were booing when they had legitimate injuries. I'd of faked a few and taunted you too.

There's not a difference. They're both gaming the rules. CrompDaddy is projecting in an attempt to cover his shame.

It's the best way to "slow down" the HUNH offense. Less talented teams resort to HUNH to level the playing field. It is within the rules to cramp so I would consider it a defensive philosophy that works against the HUNH philosophy

You don't understand Man! Boone NC is basically Everest! It never gets higher than the 80s up there!

Oh wait, game time temps were between 73 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the game was at night. Do more sprints next summer.

That's my favorite all time 'injury.' Academy-worthy, imo.

Booing players who are down is even more cowardly and classless. Two of those cramps were by app states two best defensive players.

Yeah that UT offense was just churning out the yards so they had to fake cramps to slow it down.
