In case none of you noticed who werent at the game ( I was) , one of our main TE's Logan Arnold) appeared to get hurt during warm ups before the game and was walking around on crutches thereafter. Also, Lee Dufour ( starting center and our only returning starter on the O-line) didnt play during the second half. This must have been part of the problem with our run ( and pass ) blocking.

Indicated during pregame that he would not play...don't know of he did or not.

Im not sure I even saw Lee on the field during the first half; I noticed his replacement at center when the second half began and saw Lee on the sidelines. If he wasnt even out there for the first half either, then that may offer some insignts into the lack of offensive firepower then either, all the INT's not withstanding. I didnt have access to any broadcast information during the game while in the stands at the game.

Wow I was at the game and didn’t even notice Lee not out there...did they say anything on the radio?

No mention on the radio by Crane or Irvine of Dufour.

In the pregame when announcing the starting lineup Crane explicitly mentioned that DuFour was banged up and the OL was being shifted around accordingly with Smith(?) getting the start(maybe not at center, but starting nonetheless)...

Kind of off topic but I really liked their stadium and they seem to have a nice/quaint campus. Very nice home crowd for them with a lot of school spirit too. Very impressed by that. Much better than I’ve seen at other CUSA schools.

It was also some sort of "Parents' weekend thing. Spoke to a guy who was a graduate of WKU and whose son was a student there now. They are actually Louisville fans but came because of the special weekend for WKU. During the game, the announcer asked all parents of Players, cheerleaders, band members, and then students at large to stand and be recognized. The last time we played WKU up there, which was also an evening game as I recall, the crowd seemed smaller than this time.

Ok. Didn't listen to the pregame.
