On Saturday night, college football history will be made.
When Utah and Northwestern meet in the Las Vegas Bowl at Allegiant Stadium, the competition will feature two technologies never before used simultaneously in a major college football game. Players and coaches will have the ability to use both smart tablets on the sideline and coach-to-player helmet communications on the field.
In fact, it is one of at least 14 bowl games featuring the use of at least one or both technologies in an experiment that many believe will result in permanent adoption.
Or, at least, that’s the hope.
