ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit didn't hold back in the first half of the Tennessee Vols' matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman on Saturday night. 

In the first quarter, after Tennessee picked up a first down on a huge pass completion from quarterback Nico Iamaleava to wide receiver Bru McCoy, an Oklahoma player appeared to fake an injury to slow the Vols' tempo. 

“This is college football. It drives me crazy," said Herbstreit. "You look over after a big play and all of a sudden, he looks over and goes down. It’s not necessarily against the rules but it’s unethical as hell. You see it all over against these tempo offenses, guys just go down with an ‘injury'….pathetic.”

Tennessee was held to a field goal after the "injury".
