A look back at MSU's loss to Eastern Washington
He looked like that, and a lot more on Saturday. Johnson rushed for a career-high 150 yards, helping MSU bash Eastern Washington's defense for 299 yards on the ground in the 52-51 Eagles win. But Johnson also caught three passes for 62 yards, and turned two of them into touchdowns. He returned one punt for 22 yards, and four kickoffs for 141 yards.
Those numbers added up to a school record for the senior from Bakersfield, Calif. He piled up 374 all-purpose yards, shattering the previous record of 305 yards by Michael Jefferson in 2006. It was the sixth-highest total in Big Sky Conference history.
Below is a look at other notes from last weeken's game...
