Wow! If you missed the Texas vs A&M game then you missed a good one. McCoy's arm and legs helped Texas to a 49-39 win but Jerrod Johnson also used his dual-threat talents to torch the Longhorns defense.The 6-foot-5-inch, 240-pound junior from Humble ran for 97 yards. He completed 26 of 33 passes for 342 yards and four touchdowns. The Aggies, consequently, rolled up 532 yards, the most allowed by Texas' defense this season. Coach Mike Sherman called it Johnson's "finest performance in many ways, not just on the field, but on the sideline." "There wasn't one time he thought we didn't have a chance to win it," Sherman said, "not one time when he didn't want the ball in his hands." Johnson has flown under the radar this season despite some impressive statistics for a mediocre team that has been on television only six times. In the final game of the regular season, he finally had a coming-out party on a large national stage. I have always been a fan of this guy because he reminds me of the A&M version of Vince Young. Next year he will be on a lot of GMs radar. For tonight though missed opportunities will haunt the Aggies when they turn on the film.
