All of a sudden we are EXTREMELY thin in the running back room. Marshall has been absolute stud the last two weeks, runs decisive and very hard. Castle, Haywood, and Calhoun were already out, and Kanye went down yesterday. Any updates on Kanye’s injury? It didn’t look good. On a short week, and with JMU and Southern looming, we will need all hands on deck. Any updates on our backs and when we can expect some of them back?

GO APPS!!

Clark said Kanye will be back at practice. Nothing about the others that I have heard.

Great to hear. Any knee injury makes you think the worst.

GO APPS!!

I would take Clark's post-game comments about injury status with little seriousness. He has a history of not being truthful or not knowing the full extent of injuries.

Things do tend to be worse than the initial comments after games. I don't know if he is not being truthful or just trying to be positive. There is one thing I do know for sure. Shawn is coaching scared even more than usual so he is definitely feeling the pressure. I am sure he is stressing out these days.

The silver lining is that this has forced us to rely on a single back and it has produced good results. Hoping everyone else gets healthy soon and the coaches have seen the benefit of letting a back get into the rhythm of the game.

Roberts is out. Castle questionable.

Marshall Calhoun and Alexander!

Calhoun out for the season - happened 3 or 4 weeks ago

Has it been reported why Kanye is out and if so how long he is expected to be out?

Yes, Coach said he is out this week. Calhoun is out for the season. I thought we might see Alexander Saturday . Maybe Thursday. Maybe not. I remember Settle , Hooks , Richardson and others basically carrying the entire load. Rare these days but perhaps a necessity.
