Once upon a time, Texas Longhorns fans regaled each other with tales of the Mythical Fozzy Creature.
Rarely seen, but widely discussed, the Mythical Fozzy Creature eventually emerged from injury oblivion to average 5.8 yards per rush and score nine touchdowns in 2011, including two as a kick returner.
Unfortunately, Fozzy Whittaker’s senior season ended with a knee injury suffered on the unacceptably terrible turf at Faurot Field in Missouri late that season.
Seven years later, fourth-year running back Kirk Johnson hopes to reprise the success of Whittaker all those years ago, but write a more favorable ending.
