re: How many "cramps" will Bama have on Sat?

IMPOSSIBLE to determine if an injury is legitimate or not

Well there is something such as a historical trend. For instance, lets say a powerful team such as LSU or Bama typically have 10 or 12 guys go down with a "cramp" or an "injury" during a game.

IF that number jumps to 25 or 30 vs A&M or it happens on 14 out of 19 plays such as what happened in the FL game in the 2nd quarter, then you have what is called a statistical anomaly. Still not enough information I know.... However, if all 14 players that went down vs FL all stay out for 1 or 2 plays and then return to the game, were any of them injured? That is why people boo.

Like I said, I could care less if they stop play or not. Faking an injury is well with the rules so it doesn't bother me and I don't boo.

If the NCAA wants to stop this, then they could make it mandatory that someone that goes off the field for an injury or cramp must sit out for 3 plays to "guard that players safety" and allow for proper injury assessment before returning to the game. I think the injuries and cramps would plummet vs A&M.

Bama fans have been on the board already talking about how uninjured their players are on the field and how rarely they cramp, etc... etc...

Look for a spike this weekend.
