So Jerrod Johnson is too dangerous is all Georgia kept hearing. Tim Tebow and Ryan Mallett combined for nine touchdowns against the Bulldogs this season. As he proved against Texas, Johnson can do it all so Georgia's defense will be tested. Well the passed that test as they held quarterback Jerrod Johnson and Co., to only three touchdowns - one in the final minute with the starters on the bench - in a 44-20 blowout. Bulldogs defense picked off two passes by Jerrod Johnson. You can't just put the blame on Jerrod shoulders because his special teams played horrible. They had four busted plays that led to 21 points. The Aggies were expected to produce a slew of points that did not happened although, they did rolled up 471 yards of total offense. Johnson finished with 29 of 58 passes for 362 yards and one score.
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.
