In-helmet communication will be an added element to college football in 2024. It’s been around in the NFL for some time, but this will be the first time we’ve seen it on a large scale at the college level.
Some teams will handle it better than others with it being another area for teams to find an edge.
LSU QB [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] has been putting it to the test in practice and likes the results thus far.
“Helmet comms have been awesome. Obviously, you still have to make sure you’re aware of the signals and things like that, just in case they go out at any moment. It’s definitely an advantage, being able to have that communication with (Joe) Sloan and making sure we’re in the right play and running the correct thing,” Nussmeier said.
Last week, LSU OC [autotag]Joe Sloan[/autotag] offered his thoughts, echoing a similar sentiment.
“The microphone, in the game, it just adds a different dimension. I think you’re going to see people use it in a lot of different ways and use it creatively to attack a defense,” Sloan said.
LSU has one of the top offensive staffs in the country and despite the change at OC, there’s continuity with the promotions of Sloan and Cortez Hankton. The relationship between Sloan and Nussmeier could mean LSU has an advantage in this department.
“I think it’s a huge help and it’s been really, really good for us,” Nussmeier said.
