GRIDIRON,

AN EDUCATED GUESS would be that a college team can carry as many players as they want and duplicating numbers become necessary. But, if you will notice, only one of the same number is on the field at any one time.

The NFL went to designated offensive position numbers, defense still can wear what they want, a long time ago. NFL rosters only hold 53 players and most travel with 48, so duplication of number's is not an issue.

I was just curious though. I have always like the statement "you play for the name on the front, NOT, the name on the back"

I know Notre Dame does not do it because they want to be known as a team and not a individual player. It is the colleges decision.
