Javon Williams out with concussion from last week. Huge loss!

Dang, that really hurts us. Hopefully Justin Strong is up to the task

How about Romier Elliot?  Is he playing or are we down to 1 running back?

I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

I've listened to most of Nick's interviews this year.  Several times he has said the team only has 60-65 players active -- down from the 105 they started with.  He's even mentioned that with such few players it's even hard to practice.   I've only heard of less than 10 that are out for the season with injury.  Does anybody know what happened to the other 30-35 players?  I assume some graduated at midterm, some opted out due to covid, and obviously some are redshirted (but the redshirts still get to practice).  I am curious if anybody has the numbers for each group that is not available for this game?

Elliot is playing but not at full strength. Reis said hamstring injury. I thought we had another freshmen RB Pop Jones, but haven’t seen him all year.

Strong has been our best RB the last several games. Elliott was out last game and is back, but playing hurt. Strong is playing hurt too according to Reis! Sounds like Weber St. has some key injuries too. However, our biggest strength is our running game. Our all american is out and our other 2 RB's are playing hurt, not good!!!!!~

Weber State’s defense looks legit.

I'm not sure but can you imagine what damage this team could have done with a fully, and healthy, squad?

That was too easy. Defense is going to need to shore things up quickly or this could be a long game.

Defense has sucked so far. Pass D giving them way too much cushion.

Killer that JWill is out and RomEl is not 100%.

Our defense is not very good. We were always going to need to score a lot to win this game, and with our key injuries on offense that will be difficult today!

Refs didn't call offsides. SL throws a pick - should have taken the sack. Wow we suck so far. Playing like we've never been in the playoffs - and these guys haven't.

And our pass D is asleep! FUG!
