The Chants are seven-plus weeks into a stretch of games in 10 consecutive weeks because their byes come in Weeks 2 and 13, and the consecutive games without a break may be contributing to the team dealing with its most injuries of the season.
In addition to quarterback Chance Thrasher still being out from a knee injury incurred in the fourth game of the season, seven other players either missed last week’s Texas State game or left it because of injuries.
CCU is thin at running back, though upperclassmen Marcus Outlow (hip) and Osharmar Abercrombie (ribs) may attempt to play this week at less than full strength.
