Alert: college helmet communications are on unencrypted frequencies

Read that again.
When you lose four games against teams you were favorite to win and you can't do a damn thing offensively sometimes...... You wonder a bit yea?

Look:

College helmet comms not secure, sources say

Coach-to-player in-game communications during Power 4 college football games this season have been occurring on unencrypted frequencies, sources told ESPN.

www.espn.com

We seem just like the coaching staff that wouldn't realize that people could be stealing your plays. Or that we can steal their plays.
This seems like a big deal. Might need to go back and look at some of these freaking plays.
South Carolina seems like one of these damn teams that would be doing this. Can't trust a cock! Tennessee too. Can't trust orange lovers.
Apparently anybody that knows what they're doing could find the frequency and hear the calls being called in. Every game so far in the power four conferences!!!
Lol well damn

whats the difference between stealing the signals via airwaves (via helmut) and stealing the signals via hand/sign signals (ala Harbaugh)?

I think the difference being you can hear every word they're saying in those 25 seconds they're allowed to talk to the quarterback.

outside entity could relay to a coach what's coming

In the modern era why would a technology company even release a communication product unencrypted?

Problem for UK is our coaches wouldn’t be able to decipher the play fast enough to stop it.

I mean, I'm no football expert and I haven't hacked our helmets, but most of the time even I know what we are doing. I think we have much bigger problems.

 

[Jeff Sykes]

That is just horrible foresight on the part of whoever was responsible for this. I don't think that is UK's problem. They are just terrible on the OL. UK just doesn't have an SEC caliber Oline, and I'm not really sure if it is even a D1 caliber Oline, to be honest.

 

[FirewithFire]

Yeah man, I can see why our opponents need to steal the signal when Wimsatt comes into the game. It's almost impossible to predict what play is about to be called.

Probably learned it from the NE Patriots. 😉😆

I love it when sportswriters write about something they don't understand in the least.

That phrase makes no sense whatsoever, although it would be a pretty good name for a rock band.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

No wonder the opposition could always tell when wimsatt was going to run the ball.

 

[NoDef]

If we can't hack their helmets and can afford to pay a top 60 coach top 10 pay, then something is wrong.
