I notice somthing about Cam Newton's play and I ask.

I notice in the Auburn Games I have watched on TV when he runs the ball and after he is tackled he has the look on his face and his body motion gives the impression he is hurt. He lays on the ball for a few seconds then he hop's up and runs back to the huddle as if nothing is wrong. I have notice it several times in the Alabama game and other timesthat I have watched Auburn on TV. Am I imagining this? If not why does he do it? Is it to take time off the clock and isn't there a rule for delay of game or somthing if player is doing this?
I'm just curious.

I think he was just burning clock toward the end of the game. It was way back, but Jim Brown used to do it nearly every play. Brown was a better actor though.
