Johnson is already fifth in career rushing with 2,376 yards and needs just 659 yards to pass Rodney Webster ( ) for fourth on the all-time list. If he manages to match his 1,713 yards from his sophomore season he will pass Chris Thomas ( ) and Brock Forsey ( ) for second place. He trails Thomas by 1,062 yards and Forsey by 1,670 yards. Johnson would need 2,100 yards to pass Cedric Minter ( ) for the all-time rushing lead at Boise State. THERE IS NO HEISMAN WITHOUT IAN: Boise State is in the midst of a Heisman Trophy campaign for running back Ian Johnson. The school has developed a web site ( where up-to-date stats and highlights of the junior running back can be tracked. Johnson s chances at factoring in the Heisman Trophy race are good after he finished eighth in the voting last season as a sophomore. Johnson was the first Boise State player to ever crack the top 10 in Heisman voting. JOHNSON PLAYS BEST ON NATIONAL TELEVISION: No doubt, Ian Johnson made believers of ESPN an its viewers last season. In four games on the television network, the Bronco sophomore rushed for 715 yards and 14 touchdowns--an average of yards and 3.5 touchdowns per game. He added to his impressive national television numbers when he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown against Oklahoma, who finished 16th in the nation allowing less than 100 yards per game, in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl on Fox. He capped the performance on the national stage scoring the winning points on a two-point coversion in overtime. JOHNSON LOOKS TO JOIN WAC GREATS MARSHALL FAULK AND LADAINIAN TOMLINSON IN WAC RECORD BOOKS: If Ian Johnson s rushing and touchdown totals as a junior match those from his sophomore season, the Bronco running back will move into some elite company in the Western Athletic Conference career record books. Last season, Johnson gained 1,713 yards and scored 25 touchdowns. If he puts those numbers up again this year he will finish his junior season with 4,089 career rushing yards and 54 career touchdowns.
