Jimmystats: It's Offseason So Let's Talk About Football Jersey Numbers
Seth • April 6, 2022 • 5:32pm

UPDATE: A version of this published without the 2nd half of it and I didn't notice because I posted then ran out to pick up the kids.

A conversation in the last MGoPodcast on Rayshaun Benny's weird number (26) got me thinking that nobody has really put into words what certain jersey numbers mean in college football. I started working on a guide to what various numbers mean on various types of players, but 100 numbers is quite the undertaking, so I thought in the meantime I'd nerd out with some of the information I've picked up about jersey number assignment at Michigan.

Upon Further Review 2020: Offense vs Penn State
Brian • December 2, 2020 • 4:03pm

FORMATION NOTES: Another game with a lot of absurd close-ups from both the director and the PSU defense.

That's every PSU defender within seven yards of the LOS, which is old school MSU aggression minus a yard. This happened late; prior to that PSU was going one high a lot. Michigan was their usual spread stuff aside from a couple of under center plays. One was an easy touchdown from inside the five. The second was the QB sneak, which was not as easy.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: At QB, McNamara, then Milton, then McNamara, then Milton. OL was Barnhart/Filiaga/Carpenter/Zinter/Stueber to start, and then Zinter went out. Filiaga flipped to right guard and Trevor Keegan came in.

No Charbonnet. Haskins again got a feature back level of snaps, with Corum and Evans chipping in. Mason got more run than he had recently. All and Eubanks got about equal snaps. Honigford got some bonus OL action.

WR pretty much the usual, except no Giles Jackson.
