husker_fan_from_sweden Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/how-nebraska-plans-on-dealing-with-indiana-stealing-defensive-signals On the topic of stealing defensive signals, You best believe Ohio state and Wisconsin will be doing the same thing at home. I'm glad to see they are aware of it now before a dumbfounded press conference after the fact. "It works for some teams, Banker said, but in the end, its still just football. The offense still has to execute the play and block and his defense still needs to fill gaps and tackle. Itll be important for us to keep changing things up from a standpoint of how we send the call in, Banker said." 2 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I guess it's time to break out the play call signs! Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 heard the topic on the radio this morning talk about how these coaches, and previous staffs, are so confused as to why Nebraska uses at home the sideline opposite the press box making it easier for opponents to get your signals while at home. What the topic did was basically tell me how common this is and that everyone knows it goes on and everyone just works around it. Quote Link to comment

I also never figured out why NU has the home sideline on the east side, as that puts the team in the sun during day games. Get in that shade!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Get in that shade!!! yeah, but that sun might feel pretty damn good at 3 pm on Nov 13th too. double edged sword there. hell. switch by game depending what the weather is. Is there a rule against that? 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 We do have the backup QBs stand with towels trying to hide the offensive signs. We don't do that on the D side of the ball. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 If they are smart, they'll use the regular signs with a slight tweak to get the correct ones in. Knowing this is how the Hoosiers roll, it could back fire on them......... Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I don't understand why we don't just hold up a sign with 4 quadrants that say: Step 1: Blitz Step 2: Don't Blitz Step 3: ? Step 4: Profit 2 Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker2009 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 All this talk about stealing signals is something every team tries to do. I don't think it's anything crazy because when it comes down to it, it's still football and you still have to execute. Since we knew about the signal issue, we shouldn't have made it public that we knew, MIGHT have gave our edge away in that department if there was any to begin with. Football is still football, I think. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 We do have the backup QBs stand with towels trying to hide the offensive signs. We don't do that on the D side of the ball. But if you look at how they're standing with those towels, the signals are still easily visible from the booth. Quote Link to comment
