The part I loved best was them spot lighting Kellen Moore for not snapping his chinstrap. I have spent the best part of the last two years at all the BSU scrimmages telling him that they league was making that a point of emphasis and he needed to buckle up. He would but only to make me happy. Hopefully the CFO West officials will hammer on him when they play in a couple of weeks in Vegas.

The R in this game knew this was his tendency, and intended to correct that tendency. In that same game, there were some plays that he, indeed, did have it snapped. Having observed that early in the game, the R believed this was no longer a problem, and didn't focus further on it. This is a case of the R having enough to do to not notice something that is not readily visible to him, even between plays; "out of sight - out of mind," so to speak. He's been able to get away with this for his entire career because it is always (quite deliberately) the lower right strap (opposite his throwing arm), and is completely concealed from view by the R while the ball is in play, and, for the most part, even between plays. He rarely runs with the ball, such that the R might see it while he is running.
Had the R noticed the strap not snapped while the ball was in play, he would have reminded the player to snap it.
As for the unusual formation, to their head coach's credit, he advised the crew of that formation before the game (a bit unusual for him), and they were prepared for it. However, I dare say the crew would have not had an issue with it had they not been notified.

If you look closely he also is not using any protection for his teeth.............and has not for for a few years.

Similar to knee pads that guys worried about for too many years, we should just be thankful they're not our knees, teeth, etc. If a player wants to further jeopardize his health and safety, that is on them. Fortunately, we have equipment verification cards that coaches sign absolving us from the need to worry about something that should be a priority for those playing.

While I agree that college & pro players are old enough to accept the risks, the unfortunate problem is that it trickles down to younger players.
