JOHNSON BREAKS CAREER PASSING TDS MARK --- In just his 22nd career start, junior Jerrod Johnson broke Kevin Murray’s 23-year old career passing touchdowns school record. Johnson had four against the Longhorns to raise his career total to 51, which broke Murray’s mark of 48 from 1983-86. Rushing and passing, Johnson has now accounted for 65 career touchdowns.
• Johnson became the first Aggie to surpass the 3,000-yard level in season passing against Texas. Johnson threw for 342 yards to raise his school record to 3,217.
• His 342 passing yards were his fifth 300-yard passing game of the season (school record) and the seventh of his career (school record).
• His 97 rushing yards against Texas were a career-high for Johnson and also the most allowed by the Longhorns in 2009 (previous high rushing game was 71 yards by Central Florida’s Jonathan Davis.

LONG PASS AND CATCH --- The Aggies opened the game with a 70-yard pass and catch for a touchdown on the third play of their first offensive series. Junior quarterback Jerrod Johnson found sophomore receiver Jeff Fuller running free down the sideline as both players logged their career high long plays. It was the longest pass and catch by the Aggies since 2006 when tight end Martellus Bennett took a quick pass from quarterback Stephen McGee for a 75-yard touchdown against Baylor.

NO PUNT RETURN YARDS FOR OPPONENTS --- True freshman punter Ryan Epperson has not allowed any punt return yards in the last five games, including tonight against the Longhorns when he booted four punts. In that span, Epperson has 18 punts and just three have been returned for zero yards. Epperson took off his redshirt for game seven this year against Texas Tech.
