Fun story, my brother got a State hat signed by JJ Johnson to only have it chewed up by our friends dog a few years later. Actually a sad story!

A healthy JJ Johnson and we win the SEC Championship game. Oh what could have been.
JJ was my favorite running back of all time. He was a dawg for sure.
Loved that. Just makes me miss that brand of football all the more.
You can devastate the enemy from the air, but it takes boots on the ground to win a war; to take and hold territory.
Josh Robinson, Dicenzo, and Norwood would have killed it in Leach's offense.
Very nice video, great link.
For me, Vick Ballard scored one of MSU's most amazing and athletic TD's but the refs robbed him in that infamous Auburn game in 2011. That was the game with were Auburn were given a first down on the 4th down play with the ball clearly short of the sticks.
The Vic Ballard play starts at at 2:57:40....do not watch the rest of the video, too painful.
The announcers go on to explain that Vic never touched out-of-bounds before he cross the goal line. The refs spotted the play like a punted ball where they estimate where it went out-of-bounds.

Makes me appreciate good running backs AND high-definition television.
I can't pick a favorite there are so many. I like many of them for different reasons. I loved JJ because he just had a power running style that just demoralized the other team. He was built like a tank and would truck anyone in his way.
Agree with others, a healthy JJ and we win SEC in 98 and UT gets no NC. I worked with some UT guys and they were scared of JJ. They knew the game hinged on him.
