Johnny White is earning his time at running back

Posted Sep 22, 2010
So much for Shaun Draughn walking right back into the starting running back job. Senior Johnny White's career high 113 yards rushing and a touchdown against Georgia Tech sent the message that he's taking advantage of his opportunity. He has been the starter for the first two ball games and we felt that he put himself in contention to challenge Draughn for that position. There's room for both of these guys to play."
