According to Sherman, Johnson wasn't shaken by his 5 turnovers against Baylor, which is why he didn't pull him for Stephen McGee at any time in the game. While I am one of Jerrod's biggest fans, I thought we needed to sit him for one series and let McGee come in and play, if for no other reason to let Johnson watch what was happening from the bench. You aren't going to win many games when you have 5 turnovers, and the turnovers helped Baylor turn the game into a blowout.

At one point this season, Johnson had 18 passing TDs and 4 interceptions, for an 18:4 TD to INT ratio. Now, Johnson has a 20:10 TD to INT ratio. In the last two games, Johnson has 2 TDs passing, 2 TDs rushing, and 6 interceptions. We really need to fix that if we hope to have any chance at all in being competitive in Austin.

It isn't Johnson's fault when Jeff Fuller fails to catch the ball and tips it to the opponent for an interception, but many of those INTs were Johnson's fault. He needs to tighten it up. I do think his struggles this season will pay dividends in the future, however. I'd rather he make mistakes now and learn from them than in his junior and senior seasons.

Johnson arguably hasn't had a good game since the Colorado game, where he struggled in the first half, but threw three TD passes in the third quarter. I wonder if part of that is we're facing the noticeably better teams in the Big 12 South instead of the weak sisters of the Big 12 North. I also wonder how much injuries on our offensive line, forcing us to move guards to tackle, has hurt us. Our offensive line has been a weak spot all season long, and injuries haven't helped our cause at all. ur running game has suffered, and now so is our passing game. When you can muster only 308 yards of total offense against Baylor, you have issues. Hopefully we can get things in gear and be a little more respectable against texas. We have a bye week to give the players some time off, and then come back and get ready to beat the hell outta texas.
