Title: "Fainting Goat Technique:"
Post by: bama57 on September 16, 2014, 09:00:41 AM
Arkansas State executed one of the strangest, most inexplicable plays in recent college football history against Miami on Saturday.

In the second quarter, Arkansas State ran a fake punt. Instead of running your traditional fake, they had a player act like he died, presumably to divert the defense's attention from the play on the other side of the field (we guess?).

It did not work. At all. The fake punt pass got intercepted by Miami.

Must be from the old Gus Malzahn playbook. They read it wrong though. It said "Dating goat".

Isn't it illegal to fake an injury?

Faking an injury is only illegal if it delays the game. This dumb azz play design had the guy falling like a dead tree in the middle of the play.

Frankly, I find his technique lacking. That ain't going to get you a job in Hollywood, young man.  :popcorn2:

Pretending like that DURING A PLAY should be illegal if it isn't.  Especially when the acting is that bad...

Notre Dame was the team that caused the NCAA to make false injuries banned as against the spirit of football.  The Irish used to have four or five guys flop over on the same play to buy more time. In the late 1950s I think.

Fainting goat sounds like something that would originate at the Barn.
