00:00 You do that in general, right?
00:13 You do that in general.
00:16 You gotta have a way to disguise your signals.
00:22 Everybody does it whether they do it with sheets or boards or whatever it may be.
00:29 We made some changes after the bye week as well in how we operate on offense and defense.
00:38 Specific to that, I probably won't get into what's going on at that other school and the
00:44 things that are going on.
00:45 I probably won't get into that.
00:46 But I think in general, we're always aware of how we signal.
00:55 Are we disguising it?
00:57 What happens is you get to after games and you feel like you called a very unpredictable
01:05 call in a situation and they're in the perfect defense for it.
01:11 And you're sitting there saying, "Well, how's that?"
01:14 What would ever make you play cover two on fourth and one and we're in a heavy personnel
01:20 group?
01:21 But they're in it and you got a shot called there.
01:24 Those things make you second guess and you go back and look at those things and what
01:28 you need to do to disguise it.
01:31 If it happens once, that's one thing, but if it happens over and over, then you're aware
01:35 of it.
01:38 So for us, that's something that we always are looking at.
01:43 But obviously with some of the things that are going on right now, it magnifies it.
