Tonight's 42-14 Boise State victory against Oregon State turned into a laugher, but one player made a big name for himself in Broncos sophomore back Ian Johnson. Johnson scored five touchdowns, tying a school record as part of a 42-point unanswered scoring binge. He also ran for 240 yards on 21 carries, emerging as the school's new star tailback.
ESPN inadvertently provided opponent trash-talk fodder late in the broadcast after spotlighting Johnson's unusual, very un-football hobby: crochet.
Apparently Johnson is a world class crochet knitter, as his completed wares are wildly popular all over town, selling as quickly as he can produce them. ESPN reporter Erin Andrews showed off one of Johnson's brown knit women's caps to the broadcast audience and modeled it briefly. He also makes and sells men's beanies.
An unspecified "leading crochet magazine" has also apparently tracked him down for a story.
Does crochet qualify as a fallback if that football career doesn't work out?
