Football Updates
1. Matt Porter of the Palm Beach Post had an interesting and POSITIVE look at...Defensive Tackle. Yeah, it shocked me too.
2. For those who may have been worried about Duke Johnson's return from the Ankle injury he suffered in the Florida State game last year, I offer to you the following tweets:
UM sources confirm Duke Johnson recently ran a sub-4.4 40. Extra weight (5-9, 210, +15 lbs from last year) not slowing him down. #Canes

Duke Johnson healthy again, weighing around 210, and back to the 4.3 40 club? hooo buddy
