In light of Michigan’s sign-stealing investigation, Alabama has made some precautionary things happen ahead of the Rose Bowl. Several Bama players noted that, while Michigan has never been found to have hacked into other team’s practice videos or their ‘cloud services’, there is the belief that they are doing so. Take a look at this quote from Isaiah Bond:
Alabama WR Isaiah Bond tells me Tide players are NOT watching film on their individual tablets at recommendation of coaches because of U-M’s sign stealing scandal.
“The app we record film off…I guess they were looking at other peoples play calls, hand signals stuff like that.” pic.twitter.com/GdESHTEud0

Apparently the Tide players are having to watch film as a group instead of individually:
Two Alabama players, Isaiah Bond and Tyler Booker, just said that Alabama has not been able to watch film on their at-home tablets due to the sign-stealing allegations. Booker added that Bama wants to keep anything more in-house. pic.twitter.com/YIXKoXworn

Interesting nugget from Rose Bowl media session this morning: Alabama hasn’t let players watch film on their own iPads as they usually do as a protective measure due to the Michigan sign stealing scandal. Only watching in groups.
