Snags two second-half TDs Johnson recorded four receptions (five targets) for 58 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-10 win versus Indiana.

Impact Johnson recorded a season-high four receptions and two receiving scores with junior wideout Roman Wilson (undisclosed) out against the Hoosiers. While the 6-foot-3 senior was still overshadowed by No. 1 wideout Ronnie Bell (11 receptions, 15 targets, 121 yards) and tight end Luke Schoonmaker (nine receptions, 10 targets, 67 yards, one touchdown), he still accounted for all but one of quarterback J.J. McCarthy's three passing touchdowns Saturday. Johnson has averaged 3.7 targets over the past three games, and he will continue to compete for a relatively moderate target share moving forward in Big Ten play.
