A new rule is in college football, and it is one that removes signals and plays on poster boards.
In attempts to prevent sign stealing, helmet communication has arrived. Offensive and defensive coordinators can call plays into the helmet of their main players through “green dot” communication. The player who has a green decal on the back of his helmet is the one coordinator can get the play too. It is in that player’s responsibility to relay the call to everyone else on the field.
This should change should make communication better, especially in loud environments.
