Injuries continue to mount for Buffs

On offense and defense, injuries have plagued the Buffs this season.

Starting running back Keithon Flemming suffered a dislocated left elbow in WT's final preseason scrimmage, which has unfortunately set the tone for the first three games.

Starting center Hector Rodriguez (knee) is out at least three weeks, according to head coach Don Carthel, and will be replaced for Saturday's game at SWOSU by sophomore Michael Zoch.

True freshman Kyle Voss out of Belton High will start at linebacker Saturday. Offensive lineman Brad McCarty (foot) and Dan Sherwood (illness) are listed as injured for the SWOSU game, as is middle linebacker Kevin McCluskey (arm), the Buffs' second-leading tackler.
