As I work part time in sports production at a small college in So. Cal, I noticed this season that the wing officials are switching sides at half-time (they didn't used to). But, the chain crew does not. So, in the 1st half, you have the LJ acting as HL and then they switch in 2nd half.

Yes, they want to follow the NFL practice of having the wings switch sides at the half; however they didn't change the rules that mandates the chains switch too. Therefore, the L handles the chains for one half.
I think it is ridiculous that the officials switch but the chains stay put.

I also wish they'd require a first down marker and down box on the line judge side of the field. The drive-start (x-marker) would be nice too.

Rumor is, this will be required next season and LJ will be relieved of the "over burden" of the chains...haha!! I also wish they'd require a first down marker and down box on the line judge side of the field. The drive-start (x-marker) would be nice too.
