    I think there should be a fine to the school when someone fakes an injury so obvious like that. Poor sportsmanship. I can't remember the other team I saw do that this year where one player was telling another to get down.

    That was the most obvious fake I have ever seen, The player was walking around like nothing happened after the play and after he looked over at the bench he flopped over like a dead fish, Malzahn is the one who should be fined and suspended.

    I saw a couple of times we were obviously holding, if I'm being totally honest.

    It was horrible. That's why the Barner fans need to just STFU up a couple of missed holding penalties. I don't think they got called for a single PI on defense.
    Been atrocious for years. Don't tell me you're just now noticing.

    could flag at least 2 instances on every offensive snap for both teams if they wanted to call it

    Misplaced modifiers are something I always find amusing, Shane. I think that part of my comment skipped past you.

    a Cal assistant coach was suspended maybe 9 years ago, for telling his players to fake injuries to slow down the Ducks
    https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Coach-suspended-had-player-fake-injury-vs-Oregon-3164282.php

    There were three incidents in the Oregon game involving two Cal defensive linemen in which it appeared they went to the ground feigning injury in order to stop the clock. The one that received the most attention involved sophomore Aaron Tipoti, who helped out on a tackle, got to his feet, looked to the sideline and suddenly dropped to the turf, holding his leg. It became a hit on YouTube.
