Georgia QB Carson Beck talks in-helmet communication that could be headed to FBS

Vast changes continue to come for the college football landscape, and one that could have a huge impact is in-helmet communication. The method could play a significant role for the Georgia Bulldogs, as well as the rest of the FBS.

The concept is set to mirror the NFL, and could help in multiple ways for the transition to the next level for players, as well as making the CFB experience better in general for those suiting up on the field for gameday.

In-helmet communication will be a part of G-Day for the Bulldogs, as a team spokesperson indicated ahead of Saturday. It's something Georgia has used before in scrimmages. 

“We are going to get to experiment with that,” coach Kirby Smart said. “As I understand it, each SEC team would have three helmet devices they could use in practice. It's a supply chain issue. Nothing like this school has 10, this school has two. A lot of liability involved in touching the helmets and putting pieces in. They're going to distribute those equally among the conference. We'll have three.”

Quarterback Carson Beck, who is largely projected to be not only the top signal-caller in the SEC, but the country, also expressed his thoughts on the development of in-helmet communication.

He's hoping that it will only come from offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.

“Hopefully it’s just me and Bobo in the communication,” Beck said. “I don’t need to hear everybody else yelling and chirping in my ear while I’m trying to listen to the play. I’m actually interested to see how that will work and how that will change offenses in college.”

It will be interesting to see how this form of communication potentially affects the game for Georgia and other teams across college football as the season gets underway for the Bulldogs on the road against the Clemson Tigers.

The season-opening matchup is set for Aug. 31.
