[NU Sports] Ugh, injuries

[Jonathan Hodges]

Not good news on the injury front, especially after losing so many guys last
season (although NU did have a lot of backups who stepped up on the way to 9
wins).

McManis has had a hamstring issue since camp and has been limited and was
held out last week (and we saw EMU pick on what was his side a lot).  Vaughn
came out in the 4th quarter, which meant redshirt freshman Demetrius Dugar
is the CB - which won't be good against a team with some talent at the WR
position like Syracuse.

And despite having an RB by committee, losing your most experienced runner
is never good, hopefully Simmons can see the field Saturday (he's also
pretty solid on kickoff returns).
