The first time Tez Johnson touched the ball against Hawaii, it was on a 15-yard punt return that was very close to being a touchdown.
That set the tone for the Ducks and Johnson as Oregon crushed the Rainbow Warriors, 55-10. After that return, Johnson scored two plays later on a 49-yard reception from brother Bo Nix, and the Ducks were off and running.
Johnson, a transfer from Troy, had his best game so far as an Oregon Duck. He finished with four catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
His second score came early in the third quarter on a 12-yard touchdown over the middle where his speed was just too much for Hawaii to handle. Johnson’s speed is going to be too much for most teams to handle. He showed why the Ducks wanted him as soon as he hit the transfer portal.
Besides his receiving yards, Johnson had 48 punt return yards to give him 125 total yards.
