Head coach Donald Pittman pointed to key injuries to quarterback Malcolm Eady, linebacker Leon McQuarker, who missed the game with a hip pointer, and safety Kentorius Jackson, who also was inactive with a knee injury.
Then there was quarterback Otis Brown, who was replaced by Eady, who suffered a leg injury early in the game. Deion Perry relieved Eady and played "pretty well," according to Pittman, completing 15-of-30 attempts for 141 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Because of the injuries, Pittman called this week "the perfect time" for a bye. The Wildcats host Morehouse on Oct. 31.
