Has anyone else noticed the annoying trend of - Vandelay - 10-28-2023
players not wearing their mouth guards? It seems to be especially prevalent among WR's. Not so much on Stanford but on other teams. These guys have the mouth guard attached to the facemask but not in their mouth so its just flopping around the whole time. It seems to be the "cool" thing to do. Really not a good idea. Mouth guards protect the mouth and can also prevent concussions.

I noticed. Isn't there a rule that they must be worn?

Not sure, but I think it is common to wear fitted mouthpieces with an extra on the helmet for style purposes.
The link below speaks to the style part, but doesn't make clear if mouthpieces are actually being worn.

In high school, I was blocking on one play and I'd forgotten to re-insert my mouth guard. The ref comes up to me and says "Next time I see that mouth guard dangling from your helmet during live action, I'm charging your team a timeout." I didn't forget it the rest of the year.
