Through a partnership with EON Sports, Ole Miss is going virtual this summer with its approach to training quarterbacks according to The Clarion-Ledger.

The Rebels will use SIDEKIQ simulator football software to prep for the 2015 season and most importantly, get closer to solving a three-way battle for the starting job between JUCO transfer Chad Kelly, third-year Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade.

Ole Miss’ identical offensive playbook and team-specific defensive principles can be inputted into the ‘Madden-like’ game to simulate gameday situations. Rebels offensive coordinator Dan Werner plans to use the technology to grade his quarterbacks this month and be able to see what they see from the pocket from a third-person point of view.

“If you’re watching film, you can rewind it a few times, think, then say, ‘Yeah, I think I throw it to the X there,'” Werner told the newspaper. “Now, our quarterbacks have to make that decision like he’s on the field whenever we want.”

The University of Kansas was the first team to adopt the virtual reality training prior to the 2013 season. UCLA and Syracuse have since incorporated the SIDEKIQ program into offensive meetings.

“It’s basically like the (offensive coordinator) is in the game with his player, getting to watch exactly what he’s thinking,” said Brendan Reilly, CEO of EON Sports VR to The Clarion-Ledger. ” He can see on the screen what’s happening with the play and where his quarterback is looking.”
