of the number of times Appy State players faked cramps or some other injury! Even my wife asked what was going on. Its so obvious they were faking to give their D time to rest and rotate players. Yes it was an UGLY W, but Appy State deserves an Academy Award for their acting. GBO!

Everyone fakes cramps to slow the offenses in cfb. There was no excuse to only score 13 points ever!!!!! Especially against this team. I am more alarmed by that than if the game was 35-31.

Oh c'mon now didn't you hear Brent Musburger's expert analysis? The hottest it got all offseason practice for those poor boys was 84 degrees and boy it's not as humid there as here.

They sure needed some rest after the pounding they were giving our o line.

I haven't seen that much cramping since the 2014 NBA finals with LeBron James.

Impossible for you to say whether or not they were faking.

They seemed real to me.

Dude, watch the replay. It was happening on successive plays when our O was moving the ball. Yes its a tactic used by lots of teams but Appy State went to the extreme.

When even my wife says something....you know there is something rotten going on. We won and that's what counts.

There has to be a rule change. Do not pretend to know how I would recommend that CFB deals with it, but what App State was doing was painfully obvious to even the casual fan. It is a horrible example to set for young kids and hurts the sport. Reminded me of a Spanish league soccer game out there.

I think more of these cramps were legit than people think.

Some of the guys having cramp issues were their best players. Not the guys you want to fake a cramp.

Spray them with the pain spray and get their arse off the field.

I'm baffled how the clearly faking App St. DB didn't get a flag for taunting.

Props to their coaching staff. They did everything possible to win that game, even if some of their actions were a little unethical. A veteran team who's been to the likes of Clemson, who are good, and have nothing to lose. A lot of teams would have gotten beat last night.

Make them stay out the whole series.. May not totally stop it but they'll think twice if they have to go to the bench for entirety of a critical drive.. The SEC can say they are instituting the new rule to 'protect players'.....

About the only way to police that would be to make guys ineligible for the remainder of the quarter when they go down for injury.

I think that just creates more problems than it solves.
