So I only caught the second half of the game. Was there any discussion as to why the BYU center wasn't flagged repeatedly for false start for all the head bobbing before he snapped the ball?
According to the NCAA rulebook:
Shift and False Start ARTICLE 2. a. Shift. After a huddle (Rule 2-14) or shift (Rule 2-22-1) and before the snap, all Team A players must come to an absolute stop and remain stationary in their positions for at least one full second before the ball is snapped, without movement of the feet, body, head or arms (A.R. 7-1-2-I).
4. An offensive player making any quick, jerky movement before the snap, including but not limited to:
(b) The snapper shifting or moving the ball, moving his thumb or fingers, flexing his elbows, jerking his head, or dipping his shoulders or buttocks.
