Defensive Injuries
Just noticed that Womac appears to be hurt. Can't say that I've ever seen so many defensive injuries to frontline and back up players on a football team since the "Next Man Up" Texans. My experience and memory may be limited though.

So anyone care to postulate a few theories as to why we are getting so many guys hurt on defense? Bad luck? Curse of the CUSA champion? Tonya Harding?

RE: Defensive Injuries
My tentative theory is that once starters go down, backups, who in our case are usually substantially undersized and maybe not in enough of a game shape?, are asked to fill in for much longer than ideal, leading to higher chance of injury.

He has been on the field. I remember seeing him on the depth chart for the A&M game.
Also, I'm not sure we get Derek Brown back this year. I do not have any inside information, but it seems that he would have been back by now if he were going to get back this year.
