       TIL F. Scott Fitzgerald created football's "Two Platoon System," with different offensive and defensive players; before giving Michigan Coach Fritz Crisler the idea in 1945, the same players played both sides of the ball. As a freshman, the 135-pound Fitzgerald didn't make Princeton's team.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-platoon_system#til #todayilearnedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/192n1bb/til_f_scott_fitzgerald_created_footballs_two/

       @todayilearned question then: prior to that, did football have substitution limits (the same way that rugby does today, where the same players play offence and defence)?
