Just when it looked like we’d be seeing the end of Hunter Johnson’s playing time in 2019, Pat Fitzgerald and his staff had other ideas.
Despite his being left off this week’s depth chart, Rece Davis has reported on ESPN”s College Football Gameday that Hunter Johnson will start today against Minnesota. The report has been confirmed to Inside NU by Northwestern athletics.
This appearance will mark HJ’s first start since all the way back on September 28th against Wisconsin — a game that he left early due to injury.
Since that start back in September, Johnson’s playing time/status has been sporadic and, to some extent, a mystery.
