Exactly... Why would a player fake injury when it means they have to come off the field? In the first half we had several guys get hurt and a couple never came back. TAM drove the field on 3 possessions and UF didn't "have to" fake injuries.

UF didn't have any tape on TAM in the first half but in the 2nd half made adjustments to shut them down. You don't need to fake injuries when the offense is going 3 and out on every possession. TAMs defense was on the field so much in the 2nd half that they were worn flat out.

Quit whining and please quit booing injured players. Classless

I don't think anyone faked injuries, they were the same cramping issues that the players had all game long and it was just a couple of guys in the second half. It is not like A&M was moving the ball anyway.

I'd like to believe the cramping was legit, but if you check out T.O.P. the A&M defense was out on the field much more than the Florida D in the 2nd half. It was the same temperature for both teams. You'd think the A&M defense would be the ones cramping up considering our offense wasn't on the field much the 2nd half.

When we did start to make some plays the cramps happened. Unfortunately it looks suspect.

And for some added perspective Aggie fans are touchy on the subject because our players had been accused of the same thing last year.

One of those players was Von Miller during the Baylor game. Why would we have our best defensive player cramp up and miss a play? We wouldn't. That's ridiculous. Players cramp up sometimes because it's freakin' blazing hot and they're putting extreme wear on their muscles in 5-6 second bursts.

That said, I didn't boo any of the Florida players yesterday and I was disappointed that some of our fans did.

In response to the OP - I thought the 12th Man was pretty good. I wish it'd been a night game - there's just more energy. I know the heat and yelling made me woozy a few times. Having 40,000 at Midnight Yell was impressive. And Florida fans showed up in a big way - and made a fair amount of noise up at the top of the Zone too.
