SAN ANTONIO — As he nears the exit ramp of his college career, Tyler Johnstone isn’t much interested in focusing on a milepost he passed long ago.

Johnstone’s UO finale, against Texas Christian in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday, will be played two years and three days after Johnstone suffered the first of two major knee injuries that cost him his 2014 season. Oregon’s charismatic left tackle tore an ACL in the Ducks’ win over Texas in the 2013 Alamo Bowl, forcing him to watch from the sideline as the team reached the College Football Playoff National Championship game last season.
