Quarterbacks name on jerseys?

Submitted by preed1 on

From the spring game i noticed that none of the quarterbacks had their name on the back of their jerseys, just curious why? I don't have a problem with it just curious.

The red-numbered jerseys aren't used on regular gamedays (obviously), so they probably didn't bother to add nameplates to them.

No idea, but I guess with the crazy red numbers they didn't bother wasting the effort to put their names on jerseys that wouldn't be worn much. Just a hunch if the other jerseys had their names on it.

what I meant to imply was that Denard was the one who showed an element of the "it" factor. I thought Tate was really, well, exactly was he was vs. OSU-a gunslinger who takes a lot of chances. Not exactly sure why I'm getting negged?

Let me turn this around on you.

If I was Tate and played so miserably, I wouldn't want my name on that shirt either.

How is this quote not being a dickweed? Tate is a true sophomore, playing hurt, in a practice scrimmage. Give the guy just a little bit of slack. You are implying that he should be embarrassed by his level of play as a hurt true freshman playing OSU last year, with a horrid o-line blocking for him? Really?

I thought the odds were stacked against the Blue Team for the Spring Game. For the life of me I can't remember who their quarterback was and the number he wore?

Was Tate wearing the non-red jersey at any point on Saturday? I'm just curious if he'll still be wearing "T. Forcier" like last year. Or now that his brother is definitely not on the team (as compared to the uncertainty at the beginning of last season) he'll wear just "Forcier."
