If Little can't go -- or plays hurt -- UK could be extra-thin at tailback. Backup Tony Dixon is good to go after a hip flexor injury bothered him in last week's loss to South Carolina, but third-stringer Alfonso Smith could miss his third straight game with a high ankle sprain.

It's a bad situation for sure but when you have a true freshman running back by the name of Derrick Locke ready willing and able as a replacement it sure does help...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Locke having a monster game.....

The offensive line for the Cats is "REALLY" gonna have to control the line of scrimmage in order to get our Rb's space to move out into the open field!

I just hope to see Locke get some good minutes. It's great to see a freshman come in and play like that. I really want to see him catch a pass in the open field so we can really see how fast he is.

To have a chance at beating LSU, everyone will have to be ready to play. No mistakes at all.

LC, he runs a 4.3 40 and it sure would be fun to see what 4.3 looks like with a ball tucked under his arm.. [Eek!]

Locke did not let us down, he is a player. It's great to know he is going to be around for another 3 years..Life is good and getting better..

We have to get some of our hurting backs healthy for next week and the week after. We aren't going to be able to keep winning against tough teams with one or two backs.
