Updated it for you.

It was a good game today, both teams played hard. I'm worried about the rest of the season because we are just too beat up. Don't know if WKU fans would notice, but when Marshall goes with 4 receiver sets over 60% of the time 3 of the 4 receivers are actually tight ends. We just don't have enough healthy receivers to put 4 on the field.

Having our best safety decide to lead the thug life certainly didn't help our defense today. Add to that our best LB has been out since week one, we had a DE questionably booted in the first half, and our best dlineman (Hodge) was throwing up all day on the sideline between series. Oh yeah, and our explosive back (Tyler King) got into it with the coaches and they booted him a few weeks back.

We have just lost way too many offensive weapons this year and don't really have any playmakers that are able to step up consistently. We're going to lose another game along the way, so WKU still controls their destiny IMO.
