Does anyone know who number #96 and #93 are on offensive play with 3:08 left in the 4th quarter?
Don’t see them on the roster and both had no names on their jerseys.

Wasn't sure either but we should not be forced to change clothes to get the right personnel on the field. That's just another detail that seems to be missed

I believe that was Riley Locklear and Cooper Mays. Not sure why they had to change numbers though. You wouldn’t think anyone on the offensive line would have the same numbers as two other offensive lineman. I was confused by that.

They were lining them up at tightend and fullback. Giving them numbers that aren’t offensive lineman numbers makes it easier on the refs.

Had nothing to do with double numbers in those cases, they were lining up in "eligible" positions and players with offensive line numbers 50-79 can't line up in those spots. Have to swap for a jersey in the 80s or 90s. If you only have one player lining up in an eligible spot, he can report to the official. But if you have two or more, you cannot.

UT did it several years ago when Chaney was here the first time with Dooley, they had a formation where Alex Bullard (for one) lined up as a blocking tight end and had to put on a jersey with a number in the 80s on it. We wore the adidas super-stretch jerseys then and they used one that had velcro on the sides so they didn't have to pull it over his head. He could have just reported as eligible then, but you have to do it on every play and changing the jersey removes some risk.

Didnt think there were any jersey restrictions in college. I know there is in the NFL. Denard robinson wore 98 for michigan playing quarterback a few years back

I think it's like that at all levels. 90s are eligible numbers (d-ends that also play tight end)

Only restrictions are on numbers 50-79. Offensive linemen must wear those numbers, eligible or potentially eligible receivers cannot. Any other number is allowed at any other position.
