It's players in an offensive formation. first number: running back. second number: tight ends.

12 = 1 RB 2 TE; 13 = 1 RB 3 TE; 22 = 2 RB 2 TE, etc.

Football has 11 players on each side. It’s a lot easier if you can sneak in 12.

And down-right impossible for the other team if you play 22!!

Yup. Usually one close but LES. At ASU too, but with the added issue that they’re drunk and yelling. The most cringe is

00 Personnel is no QB/TE's?

no RB, no TEs. Basically 5 WRs.
Captain Stubing

We call that "Empty"
SJS
9/4/24 11:21am
But "Empty" could still involve TE's correct? It just means no RB's IIRC
EM_Puma
9/4/24 11:32am
The tight end would be split out wide, like a receiver, in an empty set.
Rise Against
9/4/24 4:03pm
“Empty” originally referred just to an empty backfield. Ie. No running backs, but could still have attached tight ends
mvtoro

The numbers indicate in order # of Running Backs then # of Tight Ends
