re: Let the faking of injuries begin.

Yes, that gesture sure gave us a competitive advantage in that game.

How is faking an injury to slow down the game any more a ompetitive advantage than running a hurry up offense? We lose a guy for a play to slow down the pace. It's not exactly cost-free and it's not like the offense can't huddle up for a few seconds either.

I think I'll wait until the faking of injuries is outlawed and penalized in CFB before I start calling it the most unsportsmanlike thing you can do.

This is already the case. It is extremely hard to prove, but you can get a delay of game penalty if you are pretending to be injured to slow down the offense. It is cheating, straight up.

I think the rule should change to hold players out for 3 to 4 plays if they have to go off for an injury.

Losing a player for a play who was probably getting subbed out because of the situation isn't a "penalty." It's dishonest and unsportsmanlike.

How about a HUNH defense? When the defense is lined up and ready to go the Offense has five seconds to snap the ball or it's delay of game. If the defense doesn't change it's personnel before they are lined up then the offense cannot do so unless they do it in the 5 seconds. Sound fair?

I love how Justin Tuck just steps over him, like "Dude, really".

It is something that needs to be fixed as best as possible with some penalties. An easy fix seems like anyone who stops the clock by being "injured" has to come out of the game for 3 minutes of game time (yeah, that's an arbitrary time I pulled out of my arse).

The offense is entitled to dictate the pace of the game because they are on offense. If there are no substitutions then there's no reason the defense should be allowed to slow or stop the game just because they aren't ready yet.

frick Georgia. They have a history of doing that bullshite.
