The rule states " The snapper in the game under this exception must be between the ends". The rule does not state "the snapper must be between the ends to be in the game under the numbering exception".


The definition of 7-2-5b excep 1 is that the snapper may be numbered 1-49 or 80-99 on a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd down scrimmage kick only if...1. field goal formation, 2. he is not on the end of the line.
