West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez believes that technology has a place in football, especially when it comes to utilizing GPS trackers with players during practice. These trackers display speeds, yardage, and provide insights into player performance and injury prevention. In the first spring practice, average skill players ran around 6,000 yards, while linemen hit 5,000. The helmet-to-helmet communication system is also beneficial, with quarterbacks coach Rhett Rodriguez taking the lead in communicating with quarterbacks. The system shuts off with 15 seconds left on the play clock, but this isn’t an issue for the offense that snaps the ball quickly. Linebackers also use this system for communication. Overall, this technology has helped the players and coaching staff better understand player performance and make informed decisions during practice.
