I'm sorry for Little, but I doubt that his absense affects the outcome of the game much.

Looks like Little will be out for at least a month. The surgery revealed a torn ligament in his knee. Dixon will start in his place.

I hope Dixon can pick up the slack, even though no one has run the ball with a great deal of success this year for UK. Dixon was great as a freshman, but injuries slowed him down last year. Now, he doesn't look near as good as when he was a freshman. Could be the O-Line, or could be sub-par Dixon.
I like the new guy, Alfonso Smith, although haven't seen him enough. He's very fast.

Norm, with all due respect, Little's injury affects the Game. It is like, in your favorite basketball terms, of the starting Guard, being injured, and not being able to play against Florida.
Yes, it will affect the outcome, as we will not have our best on the Field. Easy to see.

I wish Rafeal a speedy recovery. Whenever someone misses basically the entire season there might be some rust butI believe Dixon is comming on, and now Smith will get his chance.
