State should thank us when the rule is passed, the number of plays you run is up there as well.

You are wrong if you think faking injuries to change play of game is new. About 1953, Notre Dame had three players drop when playing Iowa to stop the clock…ended up tying the game (I think). It was huge news at the time…sports pages nationwide went on a rant about it. ND people basically said FU.
Here USA an account from Wiki re: Frank Leahy.
“The controversy over the tie with Iowa stemmed from the fact that both of Notre Dame's touchdowns, one late in the first half and the other late in the game, came after a player had faked an injury. In both instances, Notre Dame had used up their allotment of time outs, and under normal circumstances, time would have expired in each half before they could run another play.
“Faking an injury was a widely used ploy in football as a means of buying time, but in most cases there was no impact on the outcome of a game. In Notre Dame's case, they used this ruse not once but twice in the same game, and both times they managed to score touchdowns.
“A new rule was implemented the following year forbidding players from faking injuries, and many saw this as punishment directed at Notre Dame, who were branded as the "Fainting Irish."”

And yet, despite all the allegedly fake injuries from Ole Miss, Tennessee still had the ball on the Ole Miss 21-yard line with a timeout and about 30 seconds on the clock, but just couldn't pull it out.

Not against the rules. Dont care. If you don’t want it to impact your performance, get better on offense then

Yea Kelly was
Jimbo, Lincoln then Kelly.
Florida got their #1 guy
Looked like OU was all in on Ven and Miami was well known to want Cristobal first.
Looks like LSU was the only one to struggle to get their first or 2nd guy

Unironically linking SDS. An unforgivable sin.
