Who Will Score Our First Touchdown?


Recommended Posts

In a huddle offense, a player has to enter and leave the huddle to be eligable to play on the ensuing snap. How do substitution rules apply when you have a no-huddle offense? Does the offense HAVE to huddle in order for new players to take the field and be eligable? Or, if there is absolutely never a huddle, can players come and go as they please as long as there are only 11 on the field at one time?

I believe that they have to enter between the hash marks before they are a legal substitute.

They have to go inside the nine-yard mark, which is usually where the yard-line numbers are, hence the nickname of "visiting the numbers". All offensive players must visit the numbers before the snap, the huddle satisfies this requirement for most players.
