Notebook: Homecoming Hero Leon Johnson, Mindset of Physicality and the Bowl Streak Lives

STILLWATER — The Cowboys put together perhaps their most complete performance of the season Saturday as the Pokes continue to roll.

Oklahoma State beat Cincinnati 45-13 in Boone Pickens Stadium. Here are three storylines that spawned in the media scrums of the Oklahoma State team room after the game.

Johnson Goes from Redshirt Candidate to Homecoming Hero

In his first game playing meaningful snaps at the Division-I level, Leon Johnson III might’ve been Saturday’s MVP (not named Ollie Gordon).

Johnson had his first five catches of the season, going for 149 yards. He provided the Cowboys with a vertical threat, catching passes of 67 yards, 23 yards and 43 yards.
