It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Johnny Clay has a monstrous season for the University of Wisconsin.

After all, Clay, the former Park High School star, already flashed signs of brilliance last season. As P.J. Hill's primary backup, Clay rushed for 112 yards against Indiana and 111 yards against Michigan State.

The 6-foot-1, 248-pound Clay finished his first season with the Badgers with 895 yards -- seventh-most in the Big Ten Conference.

Now, as the Badgers' featured back, don't be surprised to see Clay blow up and become a bona-fide star. My sentiments are shared by others around the country.

Noted college football expert Phil Steele and Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com chose Clay to their all-Big Ten preseason first teams. Ditto for Lindy's and Athlon magazines.

The Johnny Clay Show commences Sept. 5, when the Badgers play host to Northern Illinois at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. Look for it to be a long-running and highly-successful production.
