Summary

How does someone finish as a school's third all-time leading rusher and not be a starter? That's just one of the many questions that Undra Johnson answers on this episode of Three Guys Before The Game.

The Florida native came to West Virginia in 1984 and became a key member of a Mountaineer team that played for a national championship. In this fun-filled conversation, Johnson details his journey from player to his role today as a financial services manager.

How did former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson help kickstart Undra's career? Which former Mountaineer player helped cure Johnson's freshman bout with being homesick? The answers to those questions and much more come your way on episode 294 of Three Guys Before The Game.
