Question

last night when i was watching the ohio state game, i saw that both malcolm jenkins and terrelle pryor were #2. how is this allowed?

Answer 1

One dude puts on his #2 jersey, the other puts on his #2 jersey. What's the problem???????

Answer 2

LSUBalls is a tool box. Im sure if he went to LSU you would be happy. I mean you like to really talk some trash about OSU football, but how about that LSU basketball team? Going from a final four to terrible in a matter of no time. Now I know you are going to say the Big Ten is week in football, but how about the SEC in basketball? Weaker than usual this year. Just as the Big Ten had a down football season, the SEC has had a bad basketball season. Both conferences will recover I believe.

Answer 3

Many teams have two players with the same number. It's just in this case it's much more noticed because it is two big time players that get a lot of playing time with the same number.

Answer 4

My guess is that because of the number of players on a college football team, two players are allowed to wear the same number.

Answer 5

As long as they don't play on the *same* play it's allowed. Most college players want to have single digit numbers. Small used to have one, but Tressel took it away from him and gave him 83.

Answer 6

Offensive and defensive players can have the same number.
