Well, this explains why I sometimes get coaches complaining that A had 12 on the line. Now my response can be the usual "only on Sunday" comment.

So there is no specific requirement that there be specific number of eligibles? If A brought in 6 lineman, all numbered 50-79, and none were on the end of the line or in the backfield (i.e. only 3 in the backfield, 2 on the end of the line for 5 total eligible), would this be legal?
