From the article:
The rookie ball-carrier was Florida's leading rusher, recording 526 yards on 79 carries (6.66 yards per carry).
Davis and sophomore Lamical Perine (79 carries, 365 yards, 6 TD) made for an effective one-two punch on the ground.
Perine will now become the primary running back. Shannon has made it clear who he's looking for to step up in Davis' absence.
"It's a big blow for us because he was an explosive running back," Shannon said of Davis' injury. "But also, you know, it's time for Mark Thompson to step up. He's a senior. He's a guy that's 6-2, 240, runs 4.4. It's his opportunity to come in and play."
