Iowa coach flopping to ground and mocking our injuries
- Thread starter psupride1997

As big a scum bag as some of their fans.
Great bulletin board material for the next time PSU and Iowa plays
So you guys are saying this was a legitimate injury that he had no ability to get back to the sidelines. He had no physical contact on the play, and obviously he came back in so it wasn’t a major non contact injury. He just looks winded and decided to sit down. I am ok with injuries but to avoid questions like this I do think rule changes need to occur. If a player is injured to the point of a stoppage of play, he should be out for the remainder of the drive which seems fair.
He's our best defensive end. He sat out for 4 plays. And it was the 3rd play of the series. What if any of these support the suggestion that he was faking an injury?
Do you really watch football, like ever? It (players going down and/or walking off after going down) occurs all the time. The Iowa coach dropping to the ground in histrionics was embarrassing.
The defense had been out there for a while due to your offense, your coach even said they were out there too long and winded. To me being it looked like he needed a breather which explains being out the three plays. They sure didn’t do give him much medical attention before he jumped up and jogged off. We are ok with injuries just not minor tweaks especially after big plays or runs.
It happens during games, not the number of times it occurred yesterday.
Understood, doctor. You all are taking telehealth to a new level.
And you didn't answer my question. What possible motivation would Penn State have to make it's best defensive end fake an injury 3 plays into a series? And then have that player sit out for 4 plays before coming back in. Why would they do that?
why would PSU have one of its most important defensive ends fake an injury to stop the clock meaning he sits out the next play? Especially against a team that doesn’t run a hurry up?
Iowa fans booed when Mustipher went out in the first quarter. I guess Penn State kept him out the rest of the game just to show they were not faking injuries.
You’ve been arguing that in another thread. This topic is an Iowa coach flopping on the ground. What are your thoughts about that?
The coach in question has integrity right on the level of the elder Ferentz. It probably was not the most appropriate reaction, however the flopping injury also didn’t seem appropriate or even Franklin mentioning it after the game. This is such a minor issue, if Franklin was held to the same level he would have been fired long ago with most coaches.
Didn’t you DB injure himself walking back to the sideline? Nobody touched him. Nobody breathed on him. Why was he faking an injury. Did he want to go to the children’s hospital and have all the fans wave to him?
At the time he is being booed, how do these classless fans know he’s not seriously injured, Do they give out crystal balls at Kinnick that allow fans to see the future and know that the injured player will get off the field under his own powers and be back in 2 plays?
So PSU pulled starters for multiple plays (or the entire game) all in an attempt to slow down Iowa's plodding slow it down 120th ranked offense?
The corn ethanol in your Kool Aid is having an adverse reaction on you. I hope your coach who had an epileptic seizure on the sideline is doing OK.
You're about as bright as Vodka and his lies. Don't you now want to bring up Bale, or Carl, or payments, steroids, or how Iowa sits at the right hand of God? Be gone. Fking idiot. I've had enough of these trolls.
Absolutely worse than the fans. This piece of human excrement is supposed to be a coach, a leader and a paid representative of the University. This man is pure, unadulterated, scum of the Earth.
Don't know the guy, but any coach doing that, should face immediate discipline. Saban would have taken him behind the woodshed. I cannot believe anyone thinks this kind of behavior is okay.
I guess that's why 4-6 of them didn't return to game? Faking.
Hard to believe Ferentz would have an ass clown like him on his staff.
He should face discipline. But more because he's supposed to be a coach of a Power 5 team and he knows so little about the sport that he thinks a team would tell its best defensive players to fake an injury and miss plays to slow down, of all offenses, Iowa's. THAT is fireable!

Oh, thank God you’re okay with it. That makes everyone feel better. I’m still not sure why PSU would use this tactic against you, but never used it before against, OSU, or Michigan, or Auburn, or USC, or Michigan State, or Washington….you know, teams that are better than you. It’s a mystery.
I think Brisker was the only player to go down and only miss one play. He did that about 3 times against Wisconsin. He seems to have a shoulder problem that can be fixed quickly but is painful. No way does our team want him to miss any plays.
Mustipher was on crutches. One safety I believe was clearly hurt and I don’t believe he returned.
That leaves number 17. Was he hurt or winded or taking a dive? It is pretty skeptical to believe that he took a dive and there is no evidence to support it. I guess he could have been winded or cramping or maybe he had taken a shot to his privates. Whatever, there is no indication of conspiracy or strategy.

Even if he did it intentionally, one player doing it in the course of an entire game does not point to a planned strategy of doing it….I know, that’s too tough for dumb ass Iowa fans to figure out.
He was having a conversation with the ref...demonstrated what he saw. But nevermind the facts...
You’re defending this sh!t? Really?
He must talk fast because the flop happened less than five seconds after the play ended.
Point is a college coach should be more mature and professional
You're so fos, it's ridiculous. Go back to your board.
Interesting take that contact is needed for a player to take an injury. If applied to Riley Moss his ‘injury’ following his interception was all a fake for either showmanship or he was too tired to make it to the sidelines on his own.
strange logic.
Since AK wasn’t even in the clip during the play, there’s no way to see what happened, so how do Iowa fans use this as proof that nothing happened to him?
It was 83 degrees in Iowa in mid October with a traveling squad, cramping, but most FOOTBALL FANS would know that.
Well, so now we have an Iowa coach and a national television announcer essentially making Iowa’s case?
Fall on whatever sword you wish. But this is pretty thin.
