Senior Staff Writer

Colonels had the advantage of going through a week of practice without
dealing with all of the rain and high winds brought on by Hurricane Frances.
But on Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium, they ran into a hurricane of

The Mountaineers swept through the Colonels, racking up 492 yards of
total offense while limiting Eastern Kentucky to 293 en route to a 49-21
victory in front of 12,353 fans.

Muffled under the yelling of the Mountaineer faithful counting down
the clock to victory over the Eastern Kentucky Colonels 49-21 were the
exasperated screams of star safety Corey Lynch.
With 30 seconds left to play Lynch ran out to return the EKU punt

in pain.
“This has put a damper on everything,” head
coach Jerry Moore said.
He said after the game that Lynch had suffered a dislocated elbow. He
could be back in four weeks, Moore said, but the team is planning to
place him on the shelf for the rest of the season and apply for a medical
redshirt.
