Not rare when you call a play for a guy who's clearly been playing injured all game
I understand when faking an injury could result in a benefit in a different situation.
But in that situation, why not just let the time run as it would have without the injury? Pause the game/play clocks, get the guy off the field, then run them as they normally would have.
Why create a clock stoppage that doesn't already exist?
The clock must be stopped to address the injured player. Sometimes the offense benefits from a stopped clock. Sometimes the defense does. The referee asks the opponent of the injured player what they want done with the clock to ensure the team with the injured player doesn’t benefit.
3 shitty runs up the middle. Take a knee. Only bad things can happen on a handoff.
if texas had run that play each of the last three plays, they would’ve connected once.
and this would’ve been a legendary game

Wow! What a day of football. Condolences to the UT fans here. Looking forward to watching Penix go against Meechigan. Great stuff.
How adorable would it have been if it ended Georgia v Washington and they called it the Puppy Bowl?
Appreciate the info, makes sense and I'm sure the rules were followed.
Just seems to me it would be more fair if after the clock was stopped to address the injured player, it continued on as it otherwise would have. Just pause everything rather than stop everything.
I understand you want to prevent a team from benefitting from an injury.....but seems odd to (potentially) punish a team for an injured player, which is what happened there.
I would have so much respect for the Washington coach is at some point he admits he screwed up on his last drive.
The problem is the play clock. There’s no provision for pausing play clocks in CFB, it MUST be reset. So you could have an offensive player go down after running 20 seconds, and then the offense gets a new play clock and could run more time.
If Dillon Johnson is out, Penix is going to have to have a 2006 Vince Young type performance on Monday.
