Bodziak also put a monster hit on Andy Multari after the junior receiver took in a 14-yard reception with just two seconds left before halftime. Multari laid on the ground for about five minutes before being helped up by trainers and carefully moved off the field. McIntyre said that Multari was taken to the hospital but was released. He had been diagnosed with a lacerated liver but was back at school Monday yet “doubtful” for Friday, McIntyre said.
If that wasn’t enough, senior running back/defensive back Jelani Reynolds suffered a hip pointer and was walking around on crutches at game’s end. His status for Friday also is uncertain, McIntyre said.
“Depth is always a concern with us and injuries to those key players altered what we were and weren’t able to do in the game,” McIntyre said. “But the kids played hard and continued to fight. When something like this happens, it gives other players the opportunity to step up and show what they can do.”
