When University of Miami star safety Jaquan Johnson, thought by many to be the best player on the team, went down with an injury shortly before halftime Saturday at Toledo, the Hurricanes seemed to, at least initially, unravel.
Johnson, who went into the locker room then came out to the sideline, never returned to the game.
Coach Mark Richt said Sunday, despite thoughts publicly by ESPN2’s Andre Ware that Johnson was faking it, that Johnson” has a hamstring strain and was “wounded.’’
When Richt was asked on a teleconference if he were made aware of Ware’s comment, Richt said, “No,’’ in his usual, calm manner.
