Fake injuries could cost teams timeout, penalty

College football players going down with injuries after the ball is spotted could cost the team a timeout or penalty.

SEC teams have often been the examples.

I wonder what people out there think about this? Say um, like a Kirk Ferentz, James Franklin, our incredible hawkeye fans.

Very difficult to officiate, but it'd be good to stop the practice.

Notre Dame pulled a fake one on us in 1953. Gave them a chance to tie.

Coach and player later like yeah we did it. NCAA changed rules then in response

Franklin will probably just coach up his players to go down earlier.

Anyone else see AJ Edds quoted?

Still in denial about the fake injuries they used during the Iowa game. But they are good at denial….especially with Paterno and Sandusky. Still don’t think it’s true.

Too injured to get off of the field on your own...... sit out the equivalent of 1 quarter.

I remember it being done in the early 60's ND vs Ia game also.

I don't think officials will make the call often. They will be afraid the player is actually hurt. To much to put on an official. Disqualify the player for the remainder of the drive is the most logical and easy solution.

If you have to be helped off the field, then you should have to sit a few minutes of game time.
