That (wasting time) was not the OP's issue. He was talking about faking injury to slow down no-huddle offenses. I saw the Houston - Louisville game he referred to, and it was rather obvious to me as well (at least on TV --- possibly not so obvious on the field ... and I agree with the above who state that he, as an official, would not want to be put into a situation of guessing which injuries were real and which were just to give the defense time to breathe and/or substitute)
