Cal Fakes Injuries vs Oregon

Yeah I heard about this earlier today. Not a bad idea if u ask me. It nearly worked LOL.

wow... college football makes me

Saw that on sportscenter this morning. It's not against the rules so whatever. I blame Oregon more than Cal for saying it affected the outcome and basically destroyed their gameplan. If you can't do anything but no huddle you're in trouble.

That was the 1st time I saw that video though. LOL thats funny as hell.

they were doing it all game and they were ripping players shoes off to slow game down as well

Wanderlei Silva would never approve of that.

I knew something was up when I was watching the game

It's been happening all year... Players going down with a "cramp" only to be back in after taking a play off. Nothing can be done, but the NCAA does need to look into making rules changes in the future. Give these players a "three knockdown" rule so to speak.

More like for years and years. Nothing new. Happens all the time even in the NFL when teams are running the 2min offense.

I think its fine. Really nothing new they were just bad looking at doing it.

I've see this done since I was in 7th grade. No surprise here.

I remember reading a write up in one of the area papers. Against Oregon this season, the teams they are facing are having "injuries" almost four times as much as their season averages against other teams and almost five times as much as Oregon in the same games.

Sure it happens against teams during 2 minute drills when a team is trailing, and it might happen on occasion against teams that run a hurry up... But these numbers are ridiculous. If that's the ONLY way you can attempt to compete, you should be embarrassed with using a tactic on this level (Cal was the only team to use it with success). I think that the NCAA will look at it and institute the Duck rule within the next couple of years...

LTFG is right Tennessee did it alot in the 2nd quarter, Cal did it, Arizona State, and UCLA did it
