Here are some runs by Dennis Johnson, whose duties just increased with Knile Davis going out for the season. My favorite run of his has to be his touchdown run against LSU, for I was right there in the north endzone and saw him run to me. I think we'll see more runs like that this season. I just wonder, however, how much playing time is he going to get returning kicks? Now that your backfield has lost Davis, how much do you risk Johnson in the return game? I think the Hogs can still have a great season, but they really are walking on thinner ice with Davis gone. Maybe football karma will equal things out for us with some big breaks down the road. Simply not getting Wingo or Johnson seriously hurt during the season would be a big break in itself.
