, running on the sideline, Florida stands at a rather intriguing position in regards to running backs. The Gators, as anyone that watches the games can tell you, want to pound the ball, in order to draw the defenders closer, helping the passing game.
Can Florida trust Johnson's knee to stay stable enough to trudge through an entire SEC season. More importantly, with so much riding on the season, should they? You can deal with linemen with broken hands and quarterbacks with balky quads, but when your job includes the word running, entrusting the majority of your run game to one person coming off an injury does not feel like a strong idea.When Johnson does return to the fold, Florida should split the carries evenly.
