Ann Arbor — Drake Johnson took one hour to feel sorry for himself.
And then, when the mental fog cleared, he focused on having a surgery to repair a second anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee and facing the grueling recovery again.
Johnson, who had emerged as Michigan's most exciting and productive running back late last season, suffered the injury at Ohio State in the final regular-season game. Early the next morning, after receiving confirmation of the diagnosis, he got in his car and drove mindlessly on the highway.
"I was listening to slow jams, a little Boyz II Men, a lot of blank stares off," Johnson said Tuesday night after practice.
