The University of Florida football team isn’t good with numbers ― at least it wasn’t against Utah on Thursday. (Watch the video below.)
The Gators were penalized for having two players on the field with the same jersey number.
Eugenie Wilson III and Jason Marshall Jr. both wore No. 3 when Florida fielded a Utah punt in the second quarter. The five-yard penalty allowed Utah to retain possession during the No. 14 Utes’ 24-11 victory in Salt Lake City.
Marshall was supposed to wear No. 33, ESPN announcer Chris Fowler said.
“That is one of those procedural penalties that could be costly,” he said.
Florida Coach Billy Napier told the Gainesville Sun afterward that the team was supposed to get Marshall off the field for that play.
“There’s no question that’s another thing that we control that we didn’t do the right way,” Napier said.
