Wonder if he gets credits for his acting classes after his performance last night.
You are thinking of Carolina

The bind that I recognize the NCAA is in is that it’s an incredible dangerous sport and injuries do happen. I’d hate to incentivize hiding or gutting through legitimate injuries, so a rule needs to accommodate that. Especially for the QB who is obviously the least replaceable player for a series.
Someone asked me why the game took so long.
I said because of all the State injury time outs.
I was at the game Saturday night. Totally ridiculous. After #99's third faked injury, I turned and shouted at an NC State fan who had been barking all night that it was #99's third faked injury of the game and asked him how he could live with his team doing this shit. He had no response and knew it. He just shrugged and got quiet.
I bought a Get Well card yesterday and plan to mail it today to the NC State Athletic Department. I am enclosing a band-aid and have written on the card my best wishes for #99's full recovery and praising him for his undaunted courage in returning to the game time after time after each devastating injury.
State had 3 crucial timeouts at the end of the game because they had 9 free timeouts granted.
Another deterrent is to not allow injured player's team to huddle with coaches.
99 was also the guy who cheap shotted Sam and got the personal foul
We don't need more rules. We need it called out from the booth, the press, postgame press conferences. Name the names and the tactics. Shaming is always better. Call out coaches live on air when they allow it and this shit ends because it makes you look so fucking weak when you do it.
If we have the right guy, #99 played for James Franklin at Penn State.
Iowa fans would claim "that explains where he learned to be a little baby injury faker."
I don't disagree that something needs to be done, because the problem is obvious; but please think through the repercussions of the proposed solutions.
Also, if you just slowed the offenses down, this wouldn't be a problem. Again, you have to consider the repercussions.
So you understand that the fake injuries are to slow the offense down, you already have that. Also, fast play is used to limit the defenses substitutes so you know the personnel on defense, and finally, when one team has 17 injury timeouts and the other 3 you have to deal with the 17.
