Cornelius Johnson sets social media on fire with massive first half vs. Ohio State
Cornelius Johnson went off during the first half of The Game. The Michigan wideout made two huge plays for touchdowns.
Johnson scored on 69-yard and 75-yard touchdown receptions and social media went crazy afterwards. Michigan fans on social media immediately started comparing him to former NFL WR Randy Moss.
Michigan was able to hang with Ohio State largely because of Johnson’s first half performance. This is the kind of performance that Michigan needed to win this kind of game with Ohio State.
It’ll be interesting to see if Johnson can keep this going into the second half. There’s still plenty of football left to be played before the final whistle sounds. A trip to the B1G title game is going to be decided after today’s game.
Johnson is doing everything he can to punch Michigan’s ticket to Indianapolis and the College Football Playoff. Here’s some of the reactions to Johnson’s numbers:
