Cornelius Johnson is giving Michigan a huge spark in The Game. After the offense has been bogged down for much of the first half, Johnson torched Ohio State’s defense with a huge play.

Facing a 3rd-and-9 play, Johnson ran a quick comeback route. The connection with JJ McCarthy would have likely been just short of a first down, but Johnson went to work.

He broke one tackle and broke to the outside and down the sideline. He also sidestepped another attempt at a tackle and was off like a shot.

Johnson rolled 69 yards for the lightning bolt strike to make it 10-10 against Ohio State. We’ll see how Michigan responds after tying the game, but it is a breath of air for the Wolverines.
