Notre Dame coach bristles when asked about his players faking injuries vs. UGA

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly seemed offended on Sunday when he was asked about two of his players faking injuries to slow down UGA’s momentum in the loss to the Bulldogs. On the questionable play in the third quarter, the UGA offense was quickly moving down the field when Notre Dame linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

Kelly is lying.
Other schools do this, too.
Schools will continue to do it until there is a penalty for doing so.
It is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY on-field officials will call a penalty because if there is even the most remote chance that a kid is truly injured, the repercussions will go far beyond a single football game.
I hope UGA never does this, but I'm not declaring that we never will.
As someone else noted, we can't let stuff like this stop our momentum. I mean, someone could legitimately get hurt (even one of our guys) and then what would we do? Just because they faked the injury (or call a timeout or whatever) doesn't mean we can lose focus and not get in the end zone.
Go Dawgs!

If it's as widespread as Kelly says, I'm sure Kirby knows about it also. And IF it's true, we should have a couple of designated floppers of our own -- if we don't already.

When the "injured" player is walking off just fine and is pulled to the turf (tackled) by a teammate behind him--I'm sorry, what else are people supposed to think about that? I'd like to see the full context for that moment backing up the film to what happened on the play. That might clear Kelly or further condemn him.

Thanks for the anonymous dv (sans comment) – just knowing that sanctimonious posers like you exist among our fan base is discouraging enough without you identifying yourself. People with your attitude are the reason I grew up hating GT and TENN.

Classless act of desperation from a classless coach. Too bad it cast a bad light on an otherwise classy organization. Kelly sounds like the leaders of Iran after it is proven they initiated an attack. Keep denying till your blue in the face. Eventually, someone will believe you.

Concussion protocol - what a joke. That was the quickest concussion assessment I've ever seen because he was back in the game on the next series and played the remainder with no problems.
