    It’s been a frustrating year for senior running back Montrell Johnson, who suffered injuries throughout the season that kept him sidelined for three games and limited in others. After missing over a month of action, Johnson returned last week vs LSU but logged just two carries for 14 yards. One week later, on senior day, Montrell Johnson’s workload significantly increased, exploding for a season high 107 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, averaging 5.9 yards in Florida’s upset victory over No.9 Ole Miss.

    Largely due to injury, Johnson had gone from being a 1,000 yard feature back. to more or less behind two Freshmen.

    Sometimes I get frustrated with Napier's back rotation, but yesterday he went with the hot hand when it counted.
