This started to show up in the 4th quarter when the A&M players were yelling out our plays before they happened. One of the announcers also commented on changing the snap count so as to throw off the edge rusher who was all Over BA on just about every play.

We need to throw in a few Omaha's and Turbo Buffalo's to help when the D's are pinning their ears back and coming after BA.

Some may say it shouldn't matter if they know your play or not, but I disagree. Especially when they are disrupting your backfield so much. Surely they are working on this.
I have 10 to 12 points to make per game.

Pretty sure I remember this being an issue last year as well.

I would say old school footbal prob ain't much for disguising these things.
Thanks for the F Shack.

Now the backup QBs are covering the assistant coach signaling play calls.  First time I've seen that was in the UGA game.

Maybe opposing teams have learned Hoganese.

I've wondered. Especially on short yardage.

I heard a discussion about this on the radio, and aTm was calling out the plays at the end of the game.  After a full game of playing against an offense, it's really not unusual for them to be able to call certain plays from formations and personnel.

I think it was Auburn or maybe Texas A&M that said.. they knew the play and "Insinuated" they had decoded our signals.

I'd like to see the "Armband playlist" that Allen wears, changed each quarter..so that signal A in 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarter is to a play/formation different than previous quarters....  and start using the hard count a few times too!!!

A. ware commented at the Georgia game that it appeared BA was continually using the same snap count and the GA D was using that to get off the line quicker.

Don't count on it.

We'll be getting better at that soon, I think BA is starting to take over a little as a leader. He may not have championship skills, but they respect him and he's doing great when given protection and a dry ball.

I'm more worried whether or not we know our plays and snap counts than someone else knowing them

... and to think Vandy doesn't even know their own plays and snap counts .... wow!
