INJURY REPORT
Student-Athlete Status for Sept. 14 game vs. Western Illinois
32 - Berkley Edwards, Out
47 - Alex Bisch, Out
58 - Ed Olson, Out
56 - Nick Rallis, Out
29 - Briean Boddy, Calhoun Out for the season
Quick Thoughts
- Still no Ed Olson, which Matt found very notable last week.
- Donnell Kirkwood is off the injured list, but isn't in the two-deep. I'm guessing we won't see him play.
- Left tackle is now listed as an OR between Marek Lenkiewicz and Ben Lauer.
Sort of interesting Ben Lauer is listed as an 'OR' with Marek Lenkiewicz at LT #Gophers

@BenjaminJDawson Basically. Thought Lenk had an awesome game against NMST.
— Matt H. (@MVofDT) September 12, 2013
- Kirkwoodland Williams kept the #1 RB slot. Given the opponent, I don't expect that to mean a ton as he and Cobb should both get a lot of carries.
- No changes in the receiver orders, but it's not surprising that Jamel Harbison would need to work his way up.
Anyone see something interesting I missed?
