GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida running back Montrell Johnson has been cleared to play against No. 19 Miami on Saturday, a huge boost for the underdog Gators. Johnson had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after sustaining an injury during the first week of training camp.

He has 1,658 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns in two years with the Gators despite sharing repetitions with Trevor Etienne.
