cg_8 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So what the heck is going to happen with Zack Darlington? He's #2 currently. I assume we can't have two guys with the same number on the same side of the ball. OR can we, as long as we manage them not being on the field at the same time? You can't have two with the same number on the field at the same time. So it's possible but I'm sure Darlington is switching to some other number. I don't think Darlington is moving...

This shows they have the same number so far. http://www.huskers.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&SPID=22&SPSID=4&DB_OEM_ID=100 Official roster numbers will probably be released at the start of fall camp. I wouldn't make a big deal about duplicate numbers at this point. Maybe Stevenson promised Darlington a 12 pack of beer for his #2. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Apparenlty Burtch and Broekemeier are both #9 which I'd never noticed. Don't think there's a lot of chance for Broekemeier to be on the field. Darlington was #6 in high school but Bush already has that number. #5, 12, 14, 16 and 18 are all QB-type numbers that are available. Are they able to do like 02 vs 2? Similar to 00 and 0 are different? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Interesting. I guess there's no big deal right now. They can wait and see where they end up on the depth chart as the first game approaches and then go from there. Quote Link to comment

cg_8 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Same thing with Daishon Neal and #9 Well, not really but Sam Burtch and Tyson BroekeMeier both wear #9. Also Three #26's (Kicker, WR, LB) three #27's (Punter/RB/S) I think the rule is that each segment can have a player with the # and cant be on the official roster. So if they dress both Darlington and Stevenson, i believe one would have a different #. Not fully sure how it works though. This makes sense. I guess it's not unheard of. For the record, I'm not making a big deal out of it, just merely curious what happens. The answer, considering the #9, just comes down to managing who's on the field. Looks like we'll never see Stevenson and Darlington on the field at the same time. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Can't players swap jerseys? Hasn't that happened in the past? I thought I recall some team switching up their backup QB to the long snapper number and ran a fake of some sort. I wanna say it was a powerhouse over a muck team. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Another question.. so lets say we get in to a situation during the season where Stevenson is on the field and Armstrong gets hurt and Darlington is our backup.... Do they switch jerseys with someone else or what do they do? Could they ban them from both playing? Wouldnt shock me to see Stevenson go to #22 after Ameer. EDIT: total brain fart here-- not sure why i thought Ameer was 22..... Good lord Nevermind.. just saw Ozigbo is #22... Curious on the retired numbers side. a list below is the retired numbers, but many are used.... so could Stevenson take #20? Retired jerseys: 98 93 79 75 74 71 67 64 60 54 50 34 30 20 15 7 Quote Link to comment

I think the only numbers that are officially retired are #60 for Tom Novak and #64 for Bob Brown (I could be wrong on Brown though). Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That kickers jersey number is way too low. I always thought kickers should be single digits or in the 20's. I always thought Alex Henery's college number was very odd. Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Stevenson is gonna start out at safety. A guy told me. 1 Quote Link to comment

cg_8 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Rule 1 Section 4 Article 2 Part D States: "Numbers shall not be changed during the game to deceive opponents" According to the rule book, cannot switch jerseys during the game. Live ball penalty. 15 yards from previous spot. Player is DQ'd. http://rules.bafra.org/rules/rulebook/2013/1.html Edit: Rule changed in 2013, see below. Quote Link to comment

You are correct on this. #60 and #64 are the only two not in use anymore. It took me awhile to figure out but that's why those two numbers are in red on the face of North Stadium while all the other "retired jerseys" are in black. Quote Link to comment
