COLUMBIA, Mo. — Johnathon Johnson knows there’s talk about his standing in the Missouri record books. With 2,171 career receiving yards, the redshirt senior slot receiver sits in seventh place all-time. But he hasn’t checked up on his progress since the start of the season, when he discovered he had about 800 yards to go to break the record. In his mind, he said, he still needs 1,000.
With so many viable targets for quarterback Kelly Bryant and six games remaining in the season, it will be difficult for Johnson to break the record set by Danario Alexander in 2009.
