The Auburn Tigers are currently taking care of business in their SEC West showdown against the Arkansas Razorbacks, as they lead the ball game 35-17 in the fourth quarter.

This game had a lot of significance coming in, due to the brewing rivalry between the head coaches, Arkansas’ Bret Bielema and Auburn’s Gus Malzahn.

That rivalry began back at SEC Media Days when Bielema expressed his disdain for fast-paced offenses, something that Malzhan is known for and something that has turned the Auburn program around this season.

But on the subject of fast-paced offenses, one way that some teams combat those are by telling their defensive players to feign injuries. This cuts the tempo down a bit and gives the defense a breather.

That’s exactly what we saw in this game, except not from the team you’d expect.

While the Razorbacks were driving, Auburn’s Anthony Swain took it upon himself to go down “injured.” Although, as you can tell, I’m not quite sure that anything is wrong with him:

Or, there’s a sniper inside Razorback Stadium that someone might want to look into….
