In the huddle, the quarterback calls the play and at what count the play will be started. This information is not known by the opposing team. Therefore when he breaks the huddle, he calls the play and says on three. The center then knows to snap the ball on hut-3 and the other players know when to start moving. If they move before the ball is snapped, they are penalized yardage for movement before the snap.
