[QUOTE="Illini in Italy, post: 1956105, member: 748568"] Nah, I think the point is a little whiny. An eligible receiver wearing an eligible number was left uncovered on an unbalanced line, and our defense didn't analyze that and respond accordingly. The result? Game winning TD. The question as to whether Wisky cheated by not having reported a change in the number is weak - the rules states that a "player enters the game after changing their number they shall report to the referee". The language is ambiguous - when does a team member become a "player"? Robert would argue that it would be in warm ups for the game, I would argue that it is when a team member enters the game, meaning that in this case the player never changed his number as he started the game wearing #93, so no foul, just a defensive lapse. Of larger impact to me was the fact that if the defensive staff saw this prior to the snap, but we had no time outs remaining due to officials errors. . . [/QUOTE]
