BOCA RATON — Florida Atlantic's receiving corps is in pain.

Frantz Simeon, FAU's biggest receiving threat, separated his shoulder in Thursday's victory against Southern Utah.

Simeon was listed as questionable by the school for Wednesday's game against Louisiana.

Also, senior receiver Casey McGahee has a sprained ankle.

McGahee and Simeon, the two most experienced receivers on the team, join freshman Cortez Gent, who missed Thursday's game with an ankle injury and is questionable Wednesday, and Chris Bonner, who is sick and hasn't practiced in two days.

"None of this is good," coach Howard Schnellenberger said.

No decision has been made to who will start Wednesday, but freshman receiver Avery Holley, who scored his second touchdown of the season against Southern Utah, took many snaps with the first-team offense in practice Sunday alongside junior Chad Wilkes, who has started three games of the season.

wished to say "whoaa.. this is a fun year.."

as we await the game wednesday. and make our plans... i wanted to encourage everyone to gather with a group to watch.. always much more fun i have found.. whether it be a friend's house or one of the many fine sports bars we have in the area.. do get out and cheer with those like minded..

still not 100% sure but am anticipating making a call to florida in the am to do the sportsnote's weekly gig with qb jerry babb.. am 100% sure i will be calling.. just not 100% that our "babb boy" will be answering (smiles)

on to victory and hope to see you out and about for the game.. (kickoff 6:30)

Get our boy Babb on the phone tomorrow. I'll call in and talk to him.

1.)What do you think about the FAU game? Realistically, what are our chances for a W? What will need to happen for us to get a W? What should we expect to see from FAU?

i agree with the Vegas line that has the Cajuns as an 11 point favorite on the road, and a double digit favorite's odds on the road are pretty darn good. The Cajun Defense will have to continue to limit yards after the catch as they have done for thge last 3 games... and the offense needs to be able to run the ball and use up the clock. FAUill be a well-coached team... a team certainly capable of beating the Cajuns... similar to the Cajuns in Houston last week.

2.)Also, what is FAU saying about us (fans/players/etc...)? I have no access to FAU boards, etc.. and I was just curious.

From what I read in Blogs in The Sun Sentinel.... FAU is looking at this game as a test... and they are confident after defeating us at our house last.

In my opinion, the fact that FAU won that game, makes me feel extra certain that the Cajuns will take care of business Wednesday night....

Anything is possible, as the game is played! I, like many want the Cajuns to WIN and continue as they have played the last 3 games and even improve, and that is what it will take for the Cajuns to win.

Houston, was confident, they were at home and they had beat us last, lets hope our players are not over confident like some of our Fans.

I know we are all having fun with this new success, but I want the team focused and bringing home a W!!!!!

Yeah, you don't think Schnellenberger is sandbagging, do you? Although a separated shoulder is pretty tough, I have heard of guys with "slight" separations playing. Same with twisted ankles.

My concern is how will the guys perform in a road game with virtually no one supporting them in the stadium. Our last two road wins, ULM last year and Houston a couple of weeks back, were games in which we had substantial fan presence in the stadium and that definitely helped the guys. They will have to encourage each other, especially when we run into some rough periods during the game. I generally don't make predictions as to the outcome of individual game and I am not making a prediction for this game, I am predicting how we react to the adversity we will face at some point will determine our fate.

FAU obviously has a great coach. You have to assume he'll have his team prepared to play. Even so, unless we go out and lay an egg we should win.
