Sean McDonough saw it with his own eyes and announced it on national television.

The ABC announcer saw Ole Miss running back Matt Jones apparently fall over before a play in the second quarter of the Rebels’ game against Kentucky on Saturday afternoon in Oxford.

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is seen telling Jones to just fall down before a timeout comes. Dart wags his finger at Jones to throw himself down the field, and Jones does just that, falling onto the field as if an invisible Kentucky tackler had just knocked him to the ground. But that wasn’t the case, and Jones falls to the turf, appearing to feign injury.

McDonough, who saw exactly what was happening, was not afraid to call out the Rebels for the faked injury.

“Fortunately, Matt Jones survived and left the field. “Just a blatant fake injury,” McDonough said sharply.

Sean McDonough on the Ole Miss player: “Luckily Matt Jones survived and walked off the field. Just an obviously faked injury.”

The announcers point this out more often.

McDonough even questioned whether what the No. 6 Rebels had just done was legal. He also correctly noted that you don’t often see what happened.

While Ole Miss struggled with the backlash from its fake injury, it also struggled on the field. The Rebels allowed a touchdown late in the second quarter and trail the Wildcats 10-7 at halftime of their SEC opener.
