I just don't see where it states that Rutley is definitely OUT for tonight. And at the college level there are always very talented athletes waiting for their big chance. how many times has a team lost a star and their replacement comes through with a huge game. The exception is at quarterback where a red shirt freshman or true freshman gets thrown in the game. Quarterback is a vastly more complex position than running back and don't forget no matter, who the running back it takes an offensive line working together to make that running back successful. Good luck and see you all at half-time.
