Stanford loses top LB to knee injury

Provided by Written on November 06, 2009

STANFORD, Calif.(AP) — The Stanford Cardinal will be without top
linebacker Clinton Snyder for the rest of the season.

The school announced Friday that Snyder is sidelined with a knee
injury sustained in practice on Tuesday. Snyder leads the team
with 61 tackles and has started 42 of 44 games in his career.

The injury comes at a bad time for the Cardinal, who need one
more win to become bowl eligible for the first time in eight
years. Stanford hosts No. 7 Oregon on Saturday and also has
games remaining with No. 12 USC, No. 23 California and No. 19
Notre Dame.

Fullback Owen Marecic is expected to take Snyder’s place in the
lineup, playing both offense and defense.
