During Wednesday's media availability, Alabama head coach Nick Saban spoke in favor of college football allowing players to use helmet radios...

quote:
“I do think the helmet communicator is probably a real positive for the game. Everybody should — you can’t steal signs or do any of this stuff if you have a helmet communicator and I think it’s, I think it would be a good thing. It’s worked out well in the NFL and I also think it’s good to have one guy on defense that you could tell that guy what the call is without having to go through all this signaling process,” Saban said, per Bama247's Mike Rodak.
