Wow! So if you're in a scrimmage kick formation, you'll need
6 line players wearing 50-79? (Or 1 fewer than the number of linemen if you have an 8-man line, etc.?) And neither of the ends will be allowed to wear eligible numbers? Or does that apply only if they become "the kicking team" during the subsequent down?
I suspect
Referee goofed.
