[QUOTE="battle, post: 1811333, member: 395895"] mad at the way we played, mad at the what ifs ... re: all the missed PI - it was a blatant PI the play before the muffed punt that in the span of a few minutes let to 2 TDs. the multiple missed PI were not hard to see Big Ten needs to decide if faking 10+ injuries is a game strategy it wants to condone, endorse and reward; 1-2 fakes and we wouldn't be complaining. I don't care whether the coaches directed players to do it or the players were making these decisions on their own. On numerous fakes, there ended up being a TV timeout what seemed like 1-2 minutes after the player was off the field. In one case, they started the game clock when we were still on the sideline. maybe in some game when we are up, to make a point we fake an injury every play for 10 straight plays. in addition to all fake injuries, I noticed while we were in hurry up mode (almost whole 2nd half - 3rd quarter with wind and 4th while down) literally every time we got a first down and many went out of bounds, the game clock would start 2 seconds later and the ref would sit on the ball not allowing it to be snapped for 20+ seconds. Refs did not sit on ball that long when MSU was in hurry up. [/QUOTE]
