Is there any word on Little's new injury?????

Is he hurt again? My goodness, the man needs to just be in a bubble if he can't go one half of football without getting some type of minor injury.

I heard he took a helmet to the back, and was in a lot of pain, thats all i have heard.

That is really to bad and feel like if Little had been healthy through out his career here he would have been the best back we ever had at Kentucky. However with that said Derrick Locke looks to be the kind of back that might even be better than Little. He is faster and bigger and may be the kind of back that will be more durable...

Cat is Locke bigger than little? He just looks small and fast and little looks bigger? Just wondering! [Smile]

I think you have a point, catfannfl: Faster? Definitely. Bigger? Probably not. Not that it matters all that much. Pardon the phrase but, Little is indeed brittle.

He is brittle. I think Locke is better than Little was his Freshman year. He's not bigger than Rafael, but is a lot faster. What has made Rafael so good over the years is his ability to be elusive and juke. What makes Locke good is the fact that he is so low to the ground and quick, it's hard to tackle him. Not to mention if he hits a seam, it's over. We need a healthy Rafael, but if he can't get healthy, I trust the ball in Locke's hands.

You can go to the UK athletics site and it will give you the listed weight of each player. Just click on football, roster, and you will get your info.

That is a surprise as Locke hits the hole real fast and hard. He isn't afraid to go up the middle for a back with that much speed...I am shocked he weighs only 180 lbs...
