Linebacker hurries back to his position looks at the sideline to get the next call. Reads said call and immediately drops to the ground. Sorry but every "injury" after that lost all credibility.

It’s obvious. But it’s not why the Huskers lost.

It was. More than obvious. Soccer level obvious. Saw one in the auburn LSU game as well. But even more flagrant. Something has to be done in the off-season rules meetings. Sad day for football.

Why would the B1G let this stand? There is no question about what happened.

It’s really not rocket science here folks. They clearly were faking a lot of this and interestingly how one of those fainting goats happens to be the son of the coach! Go figure!

The" fainting goats " line is one of the best I have heard in a long time . Maybe that can be their new mascot .

I think everyone of the 6 times they were injured it was on a second down. That is way to coincidental to not have been coached.

Just look at the timing, it was very obvious. They were prepared to do this. It was not the first team to do that over the past couple of years, but this was the most obvious. Pathetic!

I wasn't in a position to watch the game, but listened to the entire game. I was thinking the same thing, just listen to it. Just when we had tempo and progress....boom a Indiana player goes down.

Never like to accuse where health is concerned, but most of these were obvious.

I was at the game with a good view of the Indiana bench. None of these so-called injured players received medical attention when they reached the sidelines.

Obviously faked, at least most of them were. When a player gets up fine then suddenly falls, it's pretty suspect. Would love to see a shot of the sideline to see if there was any signal

In the second quarter one of their linebackers went down favoring his right shoulder. When he left the field, he switched it to favoring his left. Not sure he was faking, or just confused.

Some injuries were probably real, but it's unlikely that all were. Indiana's AD obviously showed bad sportsmanship for his comments. He really has no idea what Frost and the coaches feel about them.

I was there and as a fan nobody should boo a player being hurt. But if you watch the video one has to wonder if that was a tactic of Indiana. In my opinion the MVP should go to #44. Injured 3 times.

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.

He's an athlete, and a good one. He's to valuable to be sitting on the sidelines. He needs to be part of the rotation.

It just seems he isn't a true QB and maybe this (TE) is where he should have been all along. And now with several leaving the position this could be perfect. Nothing is "hidden" these days.

He needs a lot of time learning how to run behind his pads. If he does not learn that, he is going to get hurt. He also does not come across as a real fluid athlete. Strong and fast for sure but really do not see much flexibility and vision as a runner.

This works if Rhule gets a great qb in the portal. Kaelin didn't play a down even though he could have played in four games. And now he's gone. One blindside sack and Raiola is down for the count and Haaberg is back at qb. I do give Haaarberg an extra A for effort as always.
