it was White's MCL. Will miss the next two games.

From where I was sitting I could white on crutches all game. Nealy looked like he was in slow motion in the few plays I saw him in.

Is White the 2nd team running back? I was thinking Johnson was the starter.

James White has been the 1st team running back all year. Johnson has been 2nd team, although they've split carries.

White is the starter.

I thought I saw somewhere it was expected to be 2 weeks. So maybe back for Baylor game, probably back for Oklahoma game.

I think Rhoads should give Nealy and Standard a shot at some playing time if Johnson and Woody can't get anything going.

Considering SJ serious injury, I would split time with several backs.

James White is such a good pass receiver that we miss him.

White is our best back and its not close...

Nealy played quite a bit.

Rhoads said in the presser he had pink eye during the game and said it was not very pleasant. I cant imagine playing running back with sore eyes.

Although I don't completely agree with this, there is some truth to it. lol I think we have a lot of talent, but White does execute better... and it's not close. lol I love Shontrelle but he needs to start hitting the hole as intended. Of course, it's not that easy and I'm not out on the field, but Shontrelle, it seems like, wants to turn every play into a big play. Although it's one of my favorite qualities about him, there's a time when you just need to get yards. I'd rather have three four yard plays than a two runs for no gain and run for 9 yards.

I remember sealing Nealy out there only a couple of times, only saw him get one carry that went for four yards. Two more plays like that from him and we have a first down. I hope he gets more chances to carry the ball though.

Eye infections can be pretty nasty - I had one a could weeks back, my eyelid was swollen and it felt like I'd been punched in the eye. Can imagine that playing was difficult, I had a hard enough time staying on the treadmill (can't wear contacts w/ infection, sweat too much for glasses, etc.)
