GAME LOG

Finds end zone in loss Johnson had 10 carries for 55 yards and reeled in all seven targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-20 loss versus USC.
Impact It was an all-around productive day for Johnson as he recorded a season-high seven receptions to go with his 91 total yards on the day. The sophomore running back also connected with quarterback Dylan Raiola on a 29-yard touchdown strike in the second quarter, tying the game at 14 before halftime. Johnson has now run for 339 yards and a single touchdown on 68 attempts on the ground through nine games, adding 22 catches for 139 yards and a score through the air as well. He will hope to build off Saturday's performance when the Cornhuskers host Wisconsin this coming Saturday.

Scores in blowout win Johnson accrued four carries for 50 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all three targets for 43 yards during Saturday's 34-3 win versus Northern Iowa.
Impact Johnson's touchdown came on a 36-yard scamper in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand, stretching out the team's lead. The sophomore running back has failed to record consistent volume through the Cornhuskers' first three games, logging more than four rushing attempts just once. Johnson will hope to earn a larger role within the offense moving forward, with his next opportunity coming against Illinois on Saturday.

Top running back in win Johnson tallied 12 rushes for 73 yards during Saturday's 17-9 victory against Northwestern.
Impact Johnson replaced senior Anthony Grant as the Cornhuskers' primary running back Week 8. The redshirt freshman totaled just nine carries across Nebraska's previous three games, but the coaching staff apparently turned to him out of displeasure with Grant's performance over that same stretch -- 32 carries for 94 yards. Johnson still tallied fewer rushing attempts than mobile starting quarterback Heinrich Haarberg (16), who has now logged double-digit carries in four of the past five games. If Johnson once again takes on a bigger role against Purdue this coming Saturday, then he could be locked into a role as Nebraska's RB1 for the final stretch of the regular season.
