That rushing touchdown is Johnson’s 17th of the season, putting him in some illustrious Hawkeye history. He ties Tavian Banks (1997) for the 2nd-most rushing touchdowns in a single season in Iowa’s history, and Johnson is now just 3 touchdowns away from Shonn Greene’s single-season record of 20 set in 2008.
As for his career, Johnson now has 26 rushing touchdowns in his career. That gives him the No. 5 spot on Iowa’s all-time rushing list after previously tying Ladell Betts for that spot with 25 rushing touchdowns. Akrum Wadley and his 28 scores are next in line for 4th overall on Iowa’s all-time list.
