ABILENE -- ACU junior wide receiver / punt return
specialist Kendrick Johnson was named the Lone Star Conference South Division
Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday by the LSC
office.
Johnson returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown near the
end of the first quarter, his second punt return for a touchdown this season
(73-yard return vs. Fort Lewis on Sept. 5).
Johnson joins former Wildcat great V.T. Smith as the only
two Wildcats to have two punt returns for touchdowns of at least 70 yards in the
same season. ... In 1948, Smith returned a punt 70 yards for a score against
Southwestern and had a 71-yard return for a TD against
Arkansas.
