What do we know about Johnson's and Whitley's injury? I know we dont "discuss" injuries but was just wondering what info anyone had? Will they be ready for Auburn?

Hate to play him for five games if he's not going to be at full speed and two of them are very likely to be losses regardless.

A medical redshirt may be a possibility but doesn't come into effect until an athlete applies for a 6th year of eligibility...

As is, we can HOPE to have him back by the Tennessee game...just shouldn't really expect it from the nature of the injury...

Johnson is KEY.

Now do I think it can happen without him? Yes.
Do I think we can underacheive with him? Yes.

But, do I think the probability of us winning the games that we need to in order to get to Cotton, Capital one, or better are GREATLY increased by his presence in the Tennessee game and beyond?. OH HELL 17ing yea.

His threat will loosen defenses to the point we can score in many more ways.

QB's, OL are going to play a big role. But M Johnson is going to be a difference maker. Hope it's the last half of this season. Or if not, I hope we have success inspite of not having him and we can get that medical redshirt. Problem is, I'm thinking that the medical redshirt in year 6 will never see the light of day due to his talent, and the fact that it didnt happen in the last year.
