Darius Johnson going crazy-41 yard bomb/catch to the 4 to open the 2nd Half. Hightower converts for TD. 31-14 at the start of 3rd.

so is he gone wild or going crazy?

Johnson was insane-8 catches for 164 yards and the 16 and 55 yard TD catch. Pair Johnson, with Robinson and Sanders and the passing game gets better next year. Hightower wins over previously unbeaten Pearland 38-21

can't have enough playmakers...especially the diminutive types that tend to get nicked up during the season.

he's not over 6-0 and 200 lbs, is he? Anything less tends to get beat up a bit in Division I football...although admittedly in CUSA we don't see the athletes on defense that you do when you play Big XII/SEC teams. Bottom line is that he looks like a difference maker at this level and I'm looking forward to seeing him line up for the Mustangs.

Thanks for the clip! That young man, is going to have some eye-popping numbers in his SMU career.

What is this guys rivals ranking....he looks like he could have played for us this past season...

If he does not start next year he will start for sure the year after when Sanders leaves. I bet he returns punts for us as well
