Gadget player being used exactly how a gadget player should be used. You give him 4 or 5 touches a game and maybe he breaks one for a chunk play. He’s not a guy you give the ball to 10-15 times. He’s not a P4 caliber starter. But a good coach can find a way to get use from that speed.

He has 34 carries and 12 receptions through 7 games this year. He had 6 carries and 8 receptions all of last year. SMU uses him as a situational player. Miami didn’t even use him.

It is what it is though. Can’t give everyone playing time. I never thought he’d be a regular every down type of player but Lashlee found a use for him.

Still coulda be an asset here…Even thought the SMU offense is a bit more friendly for him.

Again overall I like a lot of what is going on at UM, but it's alarming you can't find a place for this type of player imo

Yeah. Apparently that's what us misusing people looks like. He had one 87 yard run against that Stanford powerhouse d & loved average at best against anyone else. But its a Mario thing.

And he was likely promised a lot more to come to SMU.

Miami had the number one offensive last year in yardage and points. What can you say? In 13 games 6983 yards with a 537.2 per game average and 571 points with a 43.9 ave per game. Seemed like everyone did well.

I have been a huge Johnson fan just on his speed and potential with that 10.2 speed. I thought he would have done better than he did. We all saw Johnson struggle on the kickoff returns where it looked like he did not know where to run and was disappointing thinking he would have gone the distance.

Was sad to see him transfer out thinking in time he would figure it out. If just gets that one cut he is gone. No one in the college has his top speed.

I agree with the backlash for us not using brashard more because our offense desperately needed juice

With CJ i think we could have used him this year for sure but last year?? No way yall thought we were gonna stop doing what made us a historically great offense for a gadget player? Cmon
 
Mario hates scat packs. His running backs have to be able to run into walls and move the pill forward three yards.
