Oregonian confirms faking injuries was part of game plan

[Natebishop3]

Canzano is saying there will be an in-depth article in the Oregonian tomorrow that will confirm that Cal faked injuries as part of their game plan for the Ducks.

Of course, Canzano went on to whine about Duck fans and blah blah blah.

"Cal cheated, and that proves U of O sucks!"

Lord, I hate that hairless anal wart.

Pretty good read at oregonlive on this. Tedford denies any plan to slow Oregon offense with injuries, but someone on his staff says otherwise and calls it a main theme.

I'd like to think Tedford isn't this dishonest.

Here's the article for those that want to read it.

"I know any time anybody goes down against Oregon, (Duck fans) always think that's the case, but it's not the case,'' Cal coach Jeff Tedford said when asked if the injuries were faked.

However, a source within the Bears football program confirmed to The Oregonian that this indeed was "a big part'' of the defensive game plan against Oregon, although not all Cal coaches were on board with this strategy.

The idea, of course, is to give the defense a rest while disrupting an Oregon offense that heavily relies on rhythm.
