Back in the 70's and 80's...
teams like Oklahoma, Nebraska, Tennessee, SC, and so on would dress out as many of 100 on a team. That was a lot! But you knew only 11 could play at a time.
I don't think we've put any limits on the team but I am thinking it will probably be stated in the rules to be 60 or less. I think this would be a fair limit for everyone.
Rick, you had to scramble but you also had to do some superior coaching to get that team to play the way you wanted to. When you lose linemen, it becomes critical when more than one goes down. Then you relly begin to see that you can not run behind that RG and RT anymore. Or if that great back goes down, the question is "Will you try to run the ball anyhow on 3rd and 4?"
Darrian, you are a great student and I think will be a big-time winner in the DFW and the CBSMF! You are analyzing what makes this style what it is. You know that 2nd and 3rd stringers are just as important as the starters.
We definitely have some mind-sessions to go through because I can most definitely learn from your knowledge as well.
Yes, the injury is a "Beast" when you least expected!
