Extra Points: Heeeere's Johnny

Posted Oct 11, 2010
Johnny White would have nothing to do with the exuberance. He was winded. He was cramping. His sore right ankle was tender. The eye-black grease under his eyes was smudged. And there was not one fraction of a smile anywhere on his face, no hint of elation. "That's Johnny," running backs coach Ken Browning said. "He's very focused. He knew it wasn't over at that point. He'll be there to finish." (Tar Heel Blue)
