How can a mouthpiece negate a TD?

I order to call Mouthpiece infraction you have to make that call before the SNAP.   Before the snap you have 2 options available.
#1.  Charge team with T.O.
#2.  If they are out of T.O., 5 yard Delay of game
But if the play was snapped, there is no way you can throw a flag for a mouthpiece and negate a TD.
Correct me if I am wrong.
It can't negate the TD.  That is what I said.  We deal with it presnap or else we have to deal with it presnap before the next play.  If the play occurs and the mouthpiece is out we lost our chance.

I think this highlights the importance of "coach, do you have any special plays you'd like us to be aware of," element of pre-game chatter.
The answer is usually "no", then they proceed to run all kinds of crap in their first possession.  hEaDbAnG

There are two people every football coach should be very careful about surprising; their wife and today's Referee.
