What a difference a year makes. Last year, Stephen Johnson was the little known backup quarterback from College of the Desert, and now, he’s the (presumed) starting quarterback with seven wins — including one over his team’s archrival — under his belt. Johnson’s transformation from backup to hero is the stuff of legend, and today, he reflected on his remarkable journey.

“It’s been crazy,” Johnson said of the past year. “It’s been crazy just going through the whole thing. I can’t describe it as anything but divine, as to how it all came about. I’m happy with how it’s gone; I’m happy with how it’s going.
