Ole Miss player appears to fake an injury against Alabama as Tide near goal line
Published:
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has been quite outspoken during his tenure in Oxford about what he has referred to as “fake injuries” by opposing defensive players.
He believes it’s a tactic that has been used by opposing teams in an attempt to slow down his fast-paced offense.
On Saturday against Alabama, however, it appeared as if one of his players might have resorted to that approach.
With the Crimson Tide driving in the 4th quarter for a potential go-ahead score, one of the Rebels’ defensive linemen dramatically went down at the line of scrimmage to stop the ensuing snap.
