Officers pulled over Johnson&#39;s vehicle and found a toy Uzi submachine gun under the passenger seat. The case is still pending in court.<br> <br> ``While the suspension has been hard on our team, we needed to make a point to Marsalous and the rest of the team that we expect them to conduct themselves at a high standard and be good representatives of our great university,&#39;&#39; Fulmer said.<br> <br> Johnson is due back in court in October.<br> <br> Johnson&#39;s return will be welcomed because the Volunteers have lost two defensive backs to injury.<br> <br> Cornerback Inky Johnson was seriously hurt and had surgery on damaged blood vessels in his arm and shoulder area after being hit in the Air Force game. He is out for the season.
