Is LSU Faking Injuries?

[Jamos]

As I watched the game the other night I noticed that when LSU players would start to get gassed, someone would go down with an injury, go out of the game for one play and come right back in. They did the same thing to Tennessee last year at the end of that game and they also did the same in the Bama game. They may do it in every game, I just haven't been paying that close attention to it.

Just wondering if anyone else had ever noticed it.

Yes, they do it all the time.  Somewhere I saw a comment that someone asked Miles about it and he said he'd never told his players to fake an injury.  I'll see if I can find it again.

I saw it, but I thought they were really hurt.  Didn't seem to be just to stop the Oregon momentum/speed.  Just poor conditioning it seemed.

It seems like I remember seeing that too.

I think either Cal or UCLA was accused of faking injuries against Oregon last year to slow down the pace to the game. I wouldn't be surprised if Les did it on purpose. Actually pretty smart for a grass eater.

The last time they played us at TTown it was ridiculas at the number of tiimes that they stopped the clock for an injury to rest, especially if we were about to score.

Thanks! Ive been around a while, just never posted much. The pick-em was just too tempting though. And I wish that was my car

That is what I remember. 2 years ago at BDS. Many timesouts for player down.

Here's the article about a Cal coach being suspended for telling a player to fake an injury...   Click here for link

The announcers at the LSU/Oregon game brought that issue up, but said Les Miles stated that he had never faked an injury. Unfortunately, he doesn't play, what about his players, do they fake it?

He got caught in a lie at the game's beginning (about running out to the wrong side).

It not only gives them a breather but they save their timeouts. That's how they beat Tennessee last year down there.

I found someone talking about it on Wooly shortly after TS was restructured. I check in on both regularly, but the maturity here seems to fit my style better. I started on TS somewhere during the coaching search.
