I don't understand why the best RB on team isn't playing.

The only thing I can figure, right or wrong, they are holding him until UT wears down a little to take advantage of his speed.

Maybe second half??

He didn't get many touches in the second half of the game! I hate to say it but he's just quicker with better moves than Little.

But, he did get some important touches in the 2d half, just not enough of them.

Oh, I know he scored a touchdown in the second half late, but he should have had more touches. JMO!!

Locke is going to be a great runner for the cats but Little has been so good for us for these past years he did deserve the chance to play more, however a few more touchs by Locke could have been a differance maker.

Next year will be the beginning of the Locke era and he will not disappoint. You can't teach speed and he has a boat load of it..

Locke not only has speed, but also can gain yardage after the initial hit without fumbling.
I think we'll rely a lot on him next year along with Grinter and the other RBs.
