Title: Malzahn: Auburn linebacker Anthony Swain did not fake injury against Arkansas
Post by: Jamos on November 03, 2013, 07:06:35 AM
Auburn linebacker Anthony Swain's sudden fall to the turf against Arkansas is at the center of yet another injury controversy in college football.

Swain's fall capped a strange series of events -- and perhaps a show of gamesmanship between Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Auburn's Gus Malzahn -- in the final seconds of the third quarter Saturday.

Swain looked to the sideline after walking across the field, fell suddenly to the turf and grabbed his right knee. The tumble drew the attention of ESPN broadcasters, who questioned the validity of the injury immediately.

He's lying, or at best he's been given plausible deniability from his staff.

It looks like Malzhan fits right into the mold of the way the Barners do things, liars and cheaters.  ;)

I saw this when it happened.  Doesn't pass the smell test.  I've never seen a knee injury cause that kind of reaction, i.e. being OK enough to stand for a while before having to get on the ground.  Gus's image will take some tarnish over this one.

I noticed the barners have eased back into their
 "hurt em' to beat em'" MO

or at least in a stealth way so to speak , the extra flops on
a down player like Dirty Nick use to do ...
they are just not being so blatant about it like in 2010
