Johnathan Gray still 1st-team RB for Texas over D'Onta Foreman

Breakout performances by Texas Longhorns sophomore running back D'Onta Foreman in the last two games haven't helped him displace senior Johnathan Gray, who is still taking the first-team reps in practice, according to Foreman.

Head coach Charlie Strong said Monday that the two will continue to split carries, but those hoping for Foreman to take on an even bigger role in the offense will likely remain disappointed, even as it's becoming increasingly clear that Foreman is a better option than the senior.

Against TCU, Foreman was one of the few bright spots in going over 100 yards rushing for the first time in career.
