Another loss and injury: WIU to get back to the basics.

We still have some games we can win but we need to play a little defense. Tech looked like they couldnt be stopped against our defense. We need to get a win soon.

I can't remember a team that I have been on or followed that has had so many injuries to start a season. 6 starters and 4 backups out of the lineup last week; and not sure they'll be back by HC. Hoping we enough to pick a win vs Mo State, but who knows at this point. Snake bit season for sure.

Who all is out? I've never actually seen a list of who's hurt anywhere. I mean, we know about Brunner and Max Norris; and that Sampson went out last week, and I think I saw Huston limping after his score. Who else is out?

Any word on Bruner and any other injuries?

I put together a post elsewhere of what I could figure out from the 2-deep...

All I really know for sure is the 2-deep for this weekend's game, which shows:
Senior RB Max Norris - out all season so far
Junior RB Vic Johnson - out all season so far
Junior RB Kendon Walker - out last weekend against Montana State, listed as out again this weekend
Senior RB Deontez Thompson - in (minor injury in the UNA game, was out against Colorado State, but back against Montana State last weekend and listed on 2-deep for this weekend)
Senior WR John Brunner - out all season so far, spotted at Montana State game on the sideline in a walking boot
Senior DB Darron Wheeler - out all season (see below)

The only one I've seen posting about things online is DB Darron Wheeler, who had surgery a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't really he'll be back in 2019

In addition to those guys, we know Sampson had something going on with his ankle. Haven't heard if fracture, sprain, or strain...each one has it's own timetable for recovery....guess we'll see at Homecoming.
Might be another guy or two who are on the line. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll see if I can dig through the participation lists and see who all has played in what games and if there's any guys that we expected to be playing that aren't.

I know Michael Ross wasn’t dressed for the Montana St game
