At his Monday press conference, UNLV coach Bobby Hauck said the impact of playing such a loaded schedule this season was beginning to take its toll in terms of injuries piling up.

He sure wasn't kidding.

The first-year coach on Tuesday released his weekly injury report, which featured 25 names. The most intriguing of those is senior quarterback Omar Clayton, who is listed as questionable with an undetermined injury. If he's unable to go, redshirt freshman Caleb Herring on Saturday would make his first career start in quite an environment at West Virginia.

Also standing out is linebacker Starr Fuimaono, who also is questionable. He is the team's fourth-leading tackler through five games.

Keep in mind that nine of the players listed are in the "probable" category, which has meant they are playing in almost every case so far this season.

The full injury report is as follows:

Out: WR Mark Barefield (leg), DB Courtney Bridget (shoulder), DL Kjelby Oiland (undetermined), LB Beau Orth (back), DB Travis Dixon (leg), DB Quinton Pointer (leg), RB Imari Thompson (foot), LB Travis Trickey (back), OL Shane Watterson (leg).

Doubtful: RB C.J. Cox (arm), DE Daniel Mareko (arm).

Questionable: DE Preston Brooks (foot), QB Omar Clayton (undisclosed), DL James Dunlap (arm), LB Starr Fuimaono (foot), FB/LS Anthony White (leg).

Probable: DE B.J. Bell (arm), LB Nate Carter (arm), DB Mike Clausen (leg), DB Sidney Hodge (arm), LB Ronnie Paulo (arm), WR Marcus Sullivan (undisclosed), RB Channing Trotter (leg), TE Anthony Vidal (leg), OL Doug Zismann (back).
