IOWA STATE HAPPY TO SEE LAST OF JOHNSON --- Iowa State cycles off the Aggies' 2010 schedule and the Cyclones are probably pretty happy to not have to face Aggie quarterback Jerrod Johnson for a third time. Johnson accounted for four touchdowns today, three by pass and another via the run and threw for 234 yards on 23-of-28 passing. In two games against the Cyclones, Johnson has accounted for 8 touchdowns (6 pass, 2 rush). He has completed an impressive 80.6 percent of his passes (54-of-67) for 615 yards.
FAST START FOR AGGIES ---The Aggies got off to a fast start against the Cyclones, matching their season high with 14 first quarter points (also scored 14 in first quarter vs. Utah State) and scoring on all three first half drives (all touchdowns for a 21-3 first half lead).
ANOTHER 100 FOR GRAYÂ ---Sophomore running back Cyrus Gray rushed for 119 yards on 21 carries, his second straight 10-yard game. Gray ran for 131 yards last week at Texas Tech.
MILLER ADDS ANOTHER SACK ---Junior Von Miller had one sack today, running his season total to 13.5. He came into the game as the national leader in sacks.
