Bye Week Topic - DL Single Digit Jerseys

[CGgater]

So I'm ironing some uniforms while the osu-psu game is on and noticed 3 osu d linemen wearing single digit jerseys... The first D Lineman I recall in a single digit jersey was Jaye Howard wearing #6, which was 2009, maybe 2008. I remember him commenting that he chose that number because it looks hilarious on a big man.

Does anyone know if another DL did this before JH? Is he the one who began the trend?

It's dumb trivia, but what else do any of you have to do this weekend? The march to a million continues and I'm sure this topic is good for 5-6 replies.

I don't really care what the # on their jersey is. Just win.

Are you kidding me??? Wearing the right jersey number could be the difference between 4-8 and hoisting the trophy!!!

Single digits is that so we know how many blocks they will make during the season

Blocks?

I don’t mind it in certain circumstances. But generally, I say the 50s, 60s or 90s for the DL.

Single digits up to 34 in the secondary.

Linebacker with a range of 27-55, with 44 almost a must at ILB.

Blocks?

yes blocks to open up holes

I have a soft spot for 44 and 20 on the DL.

I do like 40 and 32, 34 at LB.
