TCU linebacker Jawuan Johnson watched the replay of his interception in the Cheez-It Bowl over and over. Every time, he shook his head.
Instead of scoring what would have been a walk-off touchdown in overtime, Johnson was tracked down by Cal offensive lineman Jake Curhan – a 335-pound freshman – 13 yards short of the goal line.
“That played in my head for two days in a row,” Johnson said. “I should’ve just cut up the field. I tried to avoid the quarterback for a while. I should’ve just ran and out-ran him.
