Did you watch him on defense? Gotta think the trust isn't there with this guy.

Good point.

 

[BeardedVol]

Another fake injury.

This is asinine.

Just flop before they set the ball, and it's just business as usual.

 

[TeddyYeti]

Another fake injury

 

[patrick]

I’ve never seen two teams combine for this many stoppages.

It’s a sh$$ show.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Just going to have to bite the bullet, any player on D goes down has to stay out until a change of possession

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Run the football.

 

[BleedOrange81]

You come off for an injury you can’t return for the rest of the drive. Let’s start there.

 

[VOLinAL]

We have 5 sacks and people are concerned that we aren’t sending enough pressure

We just aren’t getting the same pressure with 4 as we did last year. Blitzes have been decent.

 

[DaddyChad]

Thomas needs more carries, he's amazing.

I mean Bishop and Lewis have been pretty good as well. Great problem to have

 

[Other_Guy]

So basically players can fake injury every play if the fake job occurs before the ball is spotted.

Theyre going to panic and go down more often now lol

Just flop before they set the ball, and it's just business as usual.

Never seen this many fake injuries. Ever.

 

[Sea Ray]

These leg cramp injuries are crap

 

[mattutk2005]

Is there something wrong with the turf or something. Like a lot of these aren't fake I don't think.

 

[RAVOL]

We have 5 sacks and people are concerned that we aren’t sending enough pressure

Yes and if Boo doesn't whiff on the 4th down we are very happy right now

Yup

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Eat the clock

 

[patrick]

It will be every play where there is a positive play.

 

[allstar34bd]

I’m over feeling bad for boo’ing. CFB needs to make a clear stance on this. Both sides have faked injuries. Even if he’s hurt… it’s crying wolf now.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Have they not put in rule about flopping to stop clock other team’s momentum?

 

[TN1111]

What happened to Ricky Gibson?

I thought he was back in the game earlier but I could be wrong

 

[northknoxvol]

snipers have been accurate today

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

8 for Syracuse gets extra credit in theater class with flops and is trying to get his grade up

 

[dduncan4163]

Is it humid in there?

 

[DaddyChad]

Redmond has looked like a freshman but getting some good reps.

He’s had some really good coverage at times. I mean he’s a true freshman in his first college game.

You have to admit Vegas odds makers know what they’re doing.
