Collin Johnson’s presence opens opportunities for other Texas WRs

Collin Johnson has spent more than a month relegated to the sidelines as he nursed a hamstring injury, missing three games in the process. For the most part, the Texas offense has been just fine in his absence, producing 42 points per contest, but the passing attack — though still efficient — hasn’t been quite as notable, especially throughout the first two Big 12 meetings against Oklahoma State and West Virginia.

Devin Duvernay exploded for 108 yards on 12 receptions against the Pokes, but no other Longhorn hauled in more than two catches. The next time out against the Mountaineers, Duvernay once again led the way with 12 more catches for 86 yards, but no other receiver totaled more than 34 yards.
