redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 From what I saw of MU last season they really want to throw, makes sense to have him at RB(great blocker) and can pound the ball. Glad for him, always seemed like a great young man DrakeBax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Took one in from 27 out, using the stiff arm along the way. Up to 140 yards now. They didn't feed it to him much early on but have been getting it to him more as the game wears on. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,550 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Johnson had 103 yards and a TD yesterday. That puts him up to 65 carries for 482 yards. That's an average of 7.4 ypc and a long of 64 and he has 5 touchdowns. Not too shabby through four games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 20 carries for 198 yards, 3 TD's vs. ODU today. Congrats to Devon and all of the Thundering Herd... Marshall’s rushing attack has been almost unstoppable. Old Dominion certainly did not have an answer for it. Devon Johnson’s 198 yards were the most by a Marshall running back since Darius Marshall rushed for 203 yards on 25 carries against Memphis back in 2009. http://wvmetronews.com/2014/10/04/herd-played-best-all-around-game-vs-odu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Chuck Landon: Rock runs rough Oct. 08, 2014 @ 11:34 PM Devon Johnson's brow furrowed as he answered the question. "No," said Marshall's star running back, "I've never heard of John Riggins." It actually came as no surprise. The former Washington Redskins' star running back retired from the NFL eight years before Johnson was born. Why, Riggins even was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame a year before Johnson came into the world in 1993. So, how was Johnson supposed to know about Riggins? He wasn't. That's where I came in.

Ryan4VT 4,550 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Devon had 19 rushes for 134 and 3 touchdowns this weekend. Marshall is now ranked 25th. He is now up to 104 carries for 814 yards with a 7.8 YPC and 11 TDs. Very impressive in todays passing style game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 What Devon and the Marshall offense is doing this year is amazing. They are rushing for 291.7 YPG and passing for 302.8 YPG. It doesn't get much more balanced than that, especially 6 games into the season. Through 6 games, Johnson is averaging 17 carries, 136 yards and 1.8 TD's a game. At this pace, through 14 games (assuming a CUSA title game appearance and bowl appearance), Devon will rush for 1,904 yards, breaking the MU single season rushing record by 71 yards. At his current pace, he will also only have the 10th most carries in a season in MU history too. Right now his TD total projection is 22.5, meaning he would finish this season at 6th on the all-time TD list. (Totals: Randy Moss [29], Jackie Hunt [27], Moss [25], and Chris Parker [24] 2x). He could easily shatter these records and rush for 2,000+ yards if he played more than a half and the Marshall offense wasn't so balanced. MU has already had 4 different backs run for 100+ yards in a game this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvtne216 278 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Went up to Marshall this Saturday to get a look at my friend and former teammate, what is even more impressive about the stats, is he is not the running back every drive, he switches every other drive with #8, Devon gets the start and 3rd, 5th, and so on an so forth, but got the last 3 consecutive drives as the first half came to an end.
