South Carolina had its hands full with Troy on Saturday afternoon. Eventually, though, the Gamecocks prevailed with a 24-13 victory.

The Trojans were trying everything to win, though, including trying to draw flags on the Gamecocks for unnecessary roughness.

As you can see below, one Troy defensive player gave an Oscar-worthy performance with this dramatic flop during the second quarter of the game:

No flag was thrown on the play, as the official was looking right at the player who flopped. The official even helped the player up.

That might work when the official doesn’t have a clear line of sight, but this attempt to draw a flag was doomed from the start.
