First time as Back Judge: Any advice?

I worked BJ at the varsity level 20+ years ago. I agree with brushing up on the kicking game rules. Be active in helping retrieve the ball and returning it to the inbounds spot. In the pregame find out if the wingmen are going to face in or out when a runner goes OB and cover behind them.Hustle to remain part of the crew. The thing I remember most about being a BJ is that 4 out of 5 plays are routine and bordering on boring...BUT THE OTHER PLAY IS INCREDIBLY EXCITING!!!! and that most of those exciting plays don't involve a penalty but they involve catch or no catch calls.
