University of South Alabama Athletics

Johnson gave South Alabama the lead for good with a season-long 70-yard touchdown run on the Jaguars’ third play from scrimmage in Saturday’s match-up with Presbyterian, going on to finish with a game-high 116 yards on only 10 carries.  In setting a program game record for average yards per attempt (minimum 10), the junior paced USA in rushing for the fourth consecutive outing; it’s the first time that has happened since Demetre Baker accomplished the feat in the first four contests of the 2012 campaign.  With the effort, Johnson moved into the top 10 on the school season record list with a team-leading 550 yards this fall.
