Linebacker Michael Scherer, cornerback John Gibson and tight end Jason Reese all left during the first half against the Blue Raiders and did not return. The school ruled out all three for the remainder for the game shortly after their injuries occurred.

Scherer, who injured his right knee, and Gibson, who injured his left, are both starters and fifth-year seniors.

Reese, a backup, is a junior.
