Ok…so I was watching the game live and it was clear that Williams only started noticeably limping (a very exaggerated limp) after his team was down. I looked fake to me and our group said to each other “the game is slipping away so he’s trying to save his heisman chances….a sympathy limp”. We joked that he’d blame the loss on injury. And then I listen to the postgame and both he and Riley are playing up the injury in the 1st quarter, long before he started limping around.
So…was Williams completely faking a limp to gain sympathy votes for his heisman campaign? Was there footage on tv that I missed live of him going into a trainers tent to get checked out? We’re trainers looking at him?
I think it was a show put on when Utah started dominating and sacking him. He cracked under pressure and needed a scapegoat. Maybe he say the playoffs slipping away, so thought “I can create a play through injury narrative and get the pass on this beat down”?
