Alabama is not taking any chances ahead of its Rose Bowl matchup against Michigan. The Crimson Tide doesn’t want their College Football Playoff counterparts to steal their signs.
Sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Bond revealed on Thursday that Nick Saban and the staff in Tuscaloosa changed the way that their team is studying film. Typically, especially with so few days until kickoff, players would be glued to their tablets. Every athlete gets an iPad on which they watch game tape of opponents and film fro
The Wolverines are still under investigation from the NCAA in regard to a nationwide sign-stealing scandal. Connor Stalions was at the forefront of the operation and took the fall after illegally scouting future opponents by filming their signals from the stands.
Michigan is also accused of tapping into a commonly-used film study app to source information from opponents. There is no definitive evidence to support that claim.
The Crimson Tide is not the first team to change how they prepared for a college football game against the Wolverines. Especially in the Playoff!
TCU coaches created “dummy signals” to throw Michigan off of their scent last year.
That was before knowledge of the sign-stealing practices became more widely known. Now that we know of the shenanigans taking place under Jim Harbaugh’s Rose Bowl Rose Bowl Rose Bowl Rose Bowl Rose Bowl Rose Bowl Rose Bowl watch, it behooves Saban and his team to go above and beyond when it comes to security.
The last thing that he needs is for the Wolverines to decipher his signals!
