It’s common due to lack of numbers. There are limited numbers

so you end up with duplicates. A team can’t have two players playing at the same time with the same number so they change numbers occasionally depending on who’s in the game.

It was announced by the ref.

It’s so players can play both sides of the ball, I think it’s common for players that do that

That sounds right. I would have said #9, but it could have been #7. I see, that

Pretty sure I've seen BYU do that before, can't remember exactly when but maybe

I think it was just after a punt. they ran off, changed numbers, and ran back on

If one of the plays was a special teams play that would make sense

That makes sense.

Okay, weird. But in this case at least one of them changed from a unique number

BlueTooth

Yeah, that’s fine as long as they didn’t have 2 of the same number.
