Johnson has continued to improve this season, especially considering he was injured during the week 1 game against Georgia Southern. "I don’t know of a lot of players that week one will be running for a touchdown, and they pull a hamstring bad enough to where they have to go down and then be able to come back two weeks later and be able to play at the high level he is right now," said Gus Malzahn.
