Every game I watch, I see 50 helmets pop off a game... what the hell is going on? It doesn't seem like this used to be a common occurrence...


And helmet to helmet penalties... While i do like the rule... protecting the players.. however many times I've seen Defensive players trying to pull off to avoid it and they still get called for a little tap.. Yet if they pull off too early and the guy keeps the ball or lowers his shoulders hes going to get juked or ran over... it's quite annoying...

The media asked Corch about this recently and he said that our guys were not using all the straps on the chin strap because it was uncomfortable. He also said the straps were too loose.

Ingram got kinda fricked up because of that in the Moo State game.

Well alot of them are the Revolution helmets that are getting pulled off....When i was in school i had a Revolution helmet and they slide on and off so easily compared to older helmets.

But mine never flew off because i had it on tight. But with the older helmets they were harder to take on and off so you didnt have to have your straps as tight.

It seems like now they are wearing the new helmets but are also wearing the chin straps loose.
