CHARLOTTE – In-helmet communications are now a part of college football, but how much Clemson uses the new technology has yet to be determined.
The NCAA approved in April a rule allowing for in-helmet communication between the coach and a singular player on each side of the ball. Games featuring FBS teams will give each the option of using coach-to-player communications through one player's helmet on the field, designated with a green dot on the midline of his helmet. Several teams used helmet communications during the most recent bowl season, but it will now be an option for every game in the sport's top division.
