It depends on how many players are in the formation. The important thing to remember is that there cannot be more than 3 backs.Usually there are 5 lineman and 3 backs.If for some reason there are only 7 on the field it is not a foul. Either 4 linemen and 3 backs or 5 linemen and 2 backs would be legal.If they are down to only 5 players they would likely forfeit, but they could play on if they wanted to. They have to a minimum of 3 linemen though.It's not just an 8 man thing. In 11 man you must have a minimum of 5 linemen numbered 50-79 and no more than 4 backs.
So the answer to the question is 3?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
No, the answer to the questions is, "It depends."
The question is, “how many are required to be on the line at the snap?” The answer is at least 3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
