1. Duke Johnson Goes For Four Touchdowns
Duke Johnson decided to enter the NFL Draft after his junior season after he broke the Miami all-time rushing record in less than 3 years of playing time. Johnson is one of the best running backs in the history of the program, and he was doing disgusting things even as a freshman.
In only his third game, Johnson went wild on Bethune Cookman, getting in the end zone four times. Here’s how he did the Wildcats wrong.
So the audio of this video contains some bad words, which is fitting because Duke Johnson did Bethune dirty in 2012.
His first touchdown (the second one on the video), was a kick return touchdown after Bethune Cookman had taken a 7-0 lead on Miami. Once he set up his blockers, he took off to the end zone and it happened extremely quickly.
His second touchdown was a little toss to the left side but he made sure to embarrass a Wildcat defender before he broke the plane because that’s just what he does.
The third touchdown (last one on the video) came off a screen play. Again Johnson set up his blockers, and then he showed off his speed. Shoutout to now Indianapolis Colt Phillip Dorsett for the great blocking downfield.
In his last touchdown, Duke Johnson set up his blockers (how good is he at that) and then took off yet again. My favorite part of that touchdown is him just throwing the ball to the refs like “I’m just tired of scoring, man.”
Duke Johnson was a ridiculous player for the Hurricanes and he’ll be a good one in the NFL.
As for the Hurricanes, they look to make some more memorable plays against Bethune Cookman during their third all-time meeting.
