Brew's injury looked like it could be a serious knee.  C Zagorski has been hobbled all season, I don't think he played the last 3 qtrs  v Kenyon.  If Mirado returns that may offset somewhat the other losses.  Rosebury's real value may be pass protection.  At least there is a lot of depth at LB, but  CB Maimone didn't play a lot in the 2nd half either.  At least there's a week off before WUStL.  The Woo game was expected to be a L anyway, so why sacrifice the rest of the season?

cwru70,
I agree completely.  Don't sacrifice the season for one game.  I just hope they can get through this one w/o getting any more injuries.  Then, they need to beat Defiance.  I'd love to see a 4-1 start.  The second half of the season is brutal with Alfred, W&L, and Wash U. still looming.  Wins over CMU and Chicago may be necessary to reach 6-4 (which would be a great accomplishment)!

From what I have seen, there should be no reason that this team does not finish at least as well as last year.  They're already a game up.  Alfred seems not to be as strong as last year, and interestingly Alfred and W&L also meet.  The last half of last year was QB experiment time, since #s 1 & 2 were gone by that time.  I see wins again against UC & CMU, and, if healthly, a chance in the remaining games.  6-4 would be great, and is within reach.

Can any of you Case guys help me out?  Is the new football stadium built on the site of the old stadium.  If not, could someone help me out with directions?

[ADL70]

It's less than a long run from the old location.  So, if you were at the old field, you know where the new one is.  I recommend the great vantage point from atop the parking garage.

COW 38  Case Western Reserve Reserves 21
The Reserves acquitted themselves pretty well.  It was 17-14 until the last seconds of the of 3rd Q.  Then COW got a pick 6 with a minute and a half left in the game to pad the margin.  The D was on the field most of 3Q, but kept the Scots out of the end zone for 14:42. Several players saw their first collegiate action.

Get healthly with Defiance and a week off.  Then beat WUStL!!

Is Mirando's injury more serious than previously thought?

[4u]

If I understand it correctly, Mirando's injury is not TOO serious.  He (reportedly) has a very small rib fracture and should be able to play when the pain subsides.  I would not be shocked if he ends up under center some this week.  I also would not disagree should the staff give him two more weeks (this week and the bye) to make sure he is ready for the second half of the schedule.  I'm sure they'll make the right call,

They don't want to rush him back.  He will be there for a few years. he has the talent to succeed in any conference in D3, maybe not this year, but at some point in his career he could play well against any level of competition in D3.  He has serious game and a serious work ethic.

The reserves played well enough last week that I would say start them and sit the wounded out unless they are really needed to bat Defiance.

[4u]

I agree with cwru70.  If the reserves can be pasted in at certain spots, that would be great.  It would do two things: 1) give the reserves some much needed experience and 2) give the injured players a nice long stretch (the bye is next week) to rest.  This win over Defiance would bode well for the program.  When the season started, I was hoping for 4-1 at the break.  That is certainly within reach now.

If we can get healthy, even if Brew is out for the season, I can actually see 8-2 and a UAA crown as a possibility.

cwru70-
That would be amazing.  I hope that the crystal ball is accurate,

Needless to say there is a big qualifier there.  I take support from the Laz Index which ranks only Alfred and WUStL of the remaining opponents higher.  And WUStL is only a few spots higher.  I'm not going to make a prediction, but it is within the realm of possibility.
