Terps notes: Ty Johnson runs wild in bowl game
DETROIT — After a promising freshman year, Maryland running back Ty Johnson came into the 2016 season trying to find his role in a crowded, five-man stable. Johnson finished the season as clearly his team's lead back and a potential star.
In a season-ending 36-30 loss to Boston College Monday in the Quick Lane Bowl, Johnson looked like he had a future playing at Ford Field and other NFL venues down the road.
As he has done for most of the season, Johnson put up impressive numbers despite a defense geared to stop him. He gained 159 yards on 15 carries, and scored on touchdown runs of 62 and 30 yards.
