Wingo or Johnson?

Will rotate I figure.
I see Wingo getting a bit more PT than Johnson.

I would have guessed DJ based on his previous performance, but Wingo apparently has been running very hard in practice, so I have no idea tbh. However, I think they will both get some PT. Interestingly, BP hasn't practiced DJ at KR very much, probably due to his nagging injuries.

Wingo will probably start depending on the 1st series package...That said, DJ will get touches and the hot hand will get the majority

Really sucks ya'll lost Davis, I was looking forward to watching him play

Yup...he was primed for another good season and a captain of our team...He will be missed this year

rumors floating that DJ tweaked his hammy so he hasn't been practicing much the past few weeks. i expect wingo will get a majority of the carriers.

This, except it will depend on what plays/packages are planned for the first 3 plays or so as which RB will be on the field.
Now if you are referring to which will be said to be starting on the TV pre-game lineups and such we'll have to wait and see. Last year several of the WRs/RBs/etc who was listed as a "starter" on these lineups were not in the game for the first series due to the above plays/packages being called.

Wingo. Doubt DJ plays much these first few weeks. Needs to get healthy before Bama.
I'm interested to see what DeAnthony Curtis can do. Dude looked swoll up on the news last night.

Johnson is a dynamic kick returner, and already holds the school record for career KO return yardage, despite missing all of his junior season.
If Arkansas receives the opening kick, I'd expect Wingo to get the first couple of snaps, contingent on play calls. If Arkansas kicks away, I'd expect Johnson to get into the flow from the first change of possession that isn't a kickoff.
Overall, Wingo will probably get slightly more carries, but Johnson will get more touches when you factor in special teams.

I would rather it be johnson until wingo learns to run harder but i'd be fine with resting him the first 3 games if need be

This. Wingo hasn't impressed me. I hope DJ is the main back by the Bama game.

Isn't Wingo the fastest guy on our team?

Believe so. Last year he wasn't impressive though. He wanted to dance before hitting the hole. I think he'll do better this year.

His problem is getting out of juking...he's 6'3 230 for Christ's sake...run over some motherfrickers...
that said, in the open field I don't think many will catch him
