[NU Sports] Roach

[Jonathan Hodges]

Anyone seen any update on Rees (who came out in the 3rd quarter, I think)
and Bacher (who was being attended to after the last play of the game)?
Those guys are obviously key to our offense.

It really hurts to see Roach and Heinz sidelined for the rest of the season
(most likely) - those guys are great on and off the field and are a major
part of this year's leadership on the team.
