The Minnesota Golden Gophers are 3-0 and riding high after a 26-3 win over Miami (Ohio).

Speaking of riding high, junior wide receiver Tyler Johnson has been an absolute stud so far for the Gophers, having caught 20 receptions through those three games for 283 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson notched 100 of those yards and two of those touchdowns in Week 1 against New Mexico State but really had a break-out performance against the RedHawks.

It was so good, in fact, that his highlight package was “NFL Blitzed” by Minnesota on Twitter. NFL Blitz was, of course, a massively popular video game that jacked-up the players, lit the football’s on fire and had overall awesome commentary.

It was a tremendous game, and Minnesota paid tremendous respect towards it with this awesome video, which can be seen below:

The Gophers hit the spot with the “RTB Blitz” video, perfectly doing justice to both the classic football game as well as Johnson’s epic performance against the Redhawks.

Johnson, who checks in at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, caught nine passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged 14.8 yards per catch, and so far this season has averaged 14.2 yards per catch over his 20 total receptions.
