""We were playing with tempo and props to them, they stopped us on some third downs and then they have an injury or something like that when we really got going,""
""agreed that the action violated the spirit of the injury timeout and fair play and was done in a way to circumvent the new injury timeout rule to avoid the team being charged a timeout.""
The ACC fined Syracuse $25,000 and publicly reprimanded the school for faking injuries during a 34-21 victory over Clemson. The league determined that two players and a coach, at the 9:25 mark of the fourth quarter, attempted to secure an injury timeout to stop play and avoid a charged timeout. The action violated a new NCAA rule intended to stop feigned injuries and was labeled unethical and contrary to the spirit of the rules. The ACC and the National Coordinator of Football Officials concluded the stoppage circumvented the injury timeout rule and violated fair play. Clemson's quarterback said the injury stoppages disrupted the team's tempo and rhythm.
