ESPN on Matt Johnson
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2015 6:14 pm
The guy you should know about but probably don't: Matt Johnson, QB, Bowling Green
We've given you a heads-up on the Falcons before, but just in case you were looking for something to do this Friday night, do yourself a favor and watch Bowling Green take on Northern Illinois in the MAC championship (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2). Johnson, a 6-foot, 219-pound senior, leads the nation in passing (4,465 yards) and ranks among the top 10 in touchdown passes (2nd, 42), QB rating (4th, 168.9), completion percentage (6th, 68.9 percent) and yards per attempt (tied for 7th, 9.0). He has thrown only six interceptions in 498 attempts. And he has done all of the above while being sacked 33 times, ninth-highest in the land. Don't expect Friday night's neutral site game at Detroit's Ford Field to rattle Johnson. BGSU is the only FBS team with six wins on the road this year and one of only 10 undefeated road teams
