Anyone else out there think Johnson is still battling his separated shoulder? He had a few long passes against New Mexico and he was off target on all of them.

I think his shoulder is in good shape, but when he tightens up for the long ball, something isn't clicking.

What do y'all think?

The release is screwed up. His long balls that he's thrown the last several games have not looked good. He's either trying too hard and rifles it or the release is early and it sails. That's what happened with his pick he had against UNM. His release looked terrible and the ball sailed. The other long ball he threw to Richards and was just over his head looked good in the air, but had no touch on it. I worried about that after he separated it. It will likely not be better 'til next year. He has the whole off season to strengthen and heal it. Then he can work on his touch passes again.

Agreed that he won't be fully recovered until next year. TDS may key on his inability to throw it deep, so we may need to see him have some touch this weekend so we can keep them honest.

Maybe the adrenaline will overcome his soreness and he'll nail a couple over the top. That way they can't key on the Mack Truck
