Johnson will start against the Spartans. Just looking back, I think he deserves the game since he was our quarterback most of the season. He's ready to play and we feel like he deserves it the most. The pressure on both Burke and Johnson will be intense. Still, there probably is more at stake for Johnson.
Football is king at Florida.
At Michigan State, the basketball team draws away some of the venom. If the Gators don't win this game, Johnson will go down as the quarterback on a Florida team that lost three straight for the first time since 1988. If he can pull out a victory, the Gators would reach the 10-win plateau for the seventh straight season. It's going to be the last memory you'll have as a Gator. When both teams were rolling along undefeated, both had visions of playing in a Bowl Championship Series bowl game.
