The D gave up three TD runs of 15+ yards, and the secondary is now a shell of itself with Green and Manley both out, plus injuries in the Notre Dame to Aaron Morris and Mitch Leigber. (Did Leigber return? A Stanford Daily article says no, but I thought I saw him out there again.)

I caught up to a recording of the first half by skipping between the plays, but I didn't notice Leigber getting hurt at all. He was definitely on the field in the second half and recorded a tackle. 

The other injury was to backup DB Omari Porter.  So we are down Green, Manley, Morris, and Porter.  Other than QB, I'd say our defensive backfield was already the weakest and thinnest position group on the team, and now it's just laughably thin. Maybe we have some WRs that played DB in high school. Trying to defend SMU with very inexperienced corners (with Wright at the nickel) and nobody to spell them is going to be an adventure.
