Ole Miss running back Matt Jones had one of the most embarrassing moments I've seen on the football field against the University of Kentucky. During the second quarter of the game, his quarterback Jaxson Dart seemed to signal for him to "go down" and fake an injury to get the clock to stop. Take a look for yourself.

Well, he did go down, that's for sure. I have seen players have fake injuries before, but not quite in this fashion. I think there has to be some sort of punishment from now on when players pull something like this. Maybe a 15 yard penalty and a loss of a down? We've seen this in football quite a bit this year, but, faking it that bad is something I haven't seen yet.
