I'm against him strictly for his number - Is he trying to look like a defensive lineman?

Devin Gardner to wear No. 98 in honor of Tom HarmonAnd that effort was even extended to the pregame festivities Saturday, in which quarterback Devin Gardner was awarded a No. 98 jersey in honor of Michigan legend Tom Harmon.
Gardner will wear the number 98 for the remainder of his career, starting with Saturday night's showdown with the Irish.
Harmon was Michigan's first Heisman Trophy winner, winning the award in 1940. His son Mark Harmon has enjoyed a highly successful Hollywood acting career and was on hand for the pregame ceremony honoring "Ole 98" Saturday.

I thought he was just wearing 98 for one game to honor Harmon which was cool, but the whole season not so much.

You sound ridiculous.
Did this deserve a thread? Because a college player wore a number honoring someone. In fact, seeing a QB wearing 98 is awesome, so move along.
You must be an Irish fan.

Love it.
I think it's pretty great. Any jersey assignment that can educate people on the great past legends of the game, particularly a war hero who twice survived being shot down in enemy territory, is fine by me. It will be good for everyone to learn that Tom Harmon is not just Mark Harmon's dad or grandfather to the band Nelson.
Also, NCAA numbers are recommended not strictly enforced. That the number looks weird to you is a function of recent convention. When Harmon, Oosterbaan, Gerald Ford and Rob Kramer played no such conventions existed. If center (or anyone else) wants to wear Ford's number in his honor I am cool with that.
