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.

Saban addressed the no huddle today at the SEC teleconference.
Paraphrased Q&A
Coach, are you worried that you psyched your players out about playing against a fast spread offense?
We couldn't get off the field against a huddle offense this past weekend. You guys took what I said and misinterpreted it and ran with it. Heck, I don't mind spreads at all. Answer this, why did we play our worst game of the year on defense against a huddle offense? I don't mind spread offenses at all. I just asked if this is what college football wants, its up to yall to answer that. You don't have to answer me, yall don't have to answer, I do.

i commend your common sense. seriously. and i agree with your mathematical explanation of statistical anomaly's. it's just impossible to prove and would ruin the game if proof of injury were required.
