[Husker] Question About the Rules

[Martin, Douglas]

You are correct, Roger.  It is a penalty if they would have participated
in a play wearing identical numbers.  Simply lining up this way is not
an infraction until the ball is snapped.  I remarked at the time that
the KU coaching staff was probably screaming at their players that a
play was not going to be run because of this.

Subject: [Husker] Question About the Rules

Question:  Can two players with the same number, on the same team,
legally 
be involved in the same play?

I noticed while watching a recording of the KU game, both Taylor (#13)
and 
McKeon (#13) where lined up at the same time.  The play was the attempt
to 
draw KU offside prior to a punt on 4th down in the first quarter.

Thank you,
Roger Lohr
