Pac-10 Report: Are Opponents Faking Injuries to Slow Down Oregon?

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , ,

Oregon has seen it many times already this season.

The Ducks' high-speed offense is rolling along at its standard blistering pace until ... a player from the other team goes down with an injury, stopping play, stopping momentum.

Trainers come out, everybody waits as the player is taken off the field and the Ducks don't get to play so fast after all.

Now the Ducks, they don't want to say that anybody is faking ... they'll leave that to their fans and television commentators and bloggers. But they won't say that they are not faking either.

Cal is the latest Pac-10 team to be the target of such soccer-esque accusations.

"If the league wants to look into stuff like that, that's their prerogative. It's not coming from me," Ducks coach Chip Kelly said Tuesday. "I hear the boos sometimes when I'm calling plays, but I'm not sure what they are booing."

Coy is not a look that works on Kelly very convincingly. It certainly doesn't work on game day.
