Who wears no 1

I don't like 2 people wearing the same number either... it's confusing. Josh Smith and Aaron Medley are both number 25

As this article (Rules of the Game - College Football Jersey Numbers - 360 Sports Network) indicates, players in the NFL are required "to wear specific numbers based on their position. For example, #1-9 is reserved for QBs and Ks. #10-19 is the same, except WRs are also allowed to wear numbers in this range. #20-49 are reserved for RBs and LBs (and some TEs in the 40s), #50-59 for LBs and centers, #60-79 for linemen, #80-89 WRs, #90-99 for DL."

The NCAA has released similar guidelines but they are not rules per se. The only official rule is that "members of the offensive line who play in ineligible positions must wear numbers 50-79. Even that “rule” is not always a requirement, in particular in punt formations where anybody can be “ineligible” as long as they establish themselves as such when the snapper touches the ball.

The rule book actually reads (Rule 1-3, Section 4, Article 1) that “It is strongly recommended that offensive players be numbered according to…” and it lists guidelines similar to the NFL’s. It requires that “Backs” are 1-49, snapper 50-59, guards 60-69, tackles 70-79, ends 80-99. So college football teams do typically follow the same pattern as the NFL, except you’ll see kickers wearing numbers like #98 or #47 because those numbers aren’t needed as much by the rest of the roster."

I saw the pics from todays practice and saw that BIG guy wearing #1 and thought at first Jalen had really hit the weights this year cause that guy was really thick. Kmac looks like a tree stump. He is gonna wreak havoc this season.

There goes any chance of putting K Mac in at blocking fullback for Hurd on the goal line in the " Big Mac" formation.

Hurd & K-Mac. This just in, there are on 99 two digit #'s last I checked. 85 scholarships plus retired jerseys leaves double numbers now.

Tennessee Duke

I really don't care what number they are wearing if they can score or keep opponents from scoring. Period!
