Boise State’s all-time efficient bruiser: Ian Johnson turns every touch into damage
In the 2006 season, Ian Johnson was a matchup nightmare for Boise State, piling up 1,713 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns while averaging 6.2 yards per carry; across his Broncos career, he totaled 4,183 rushing yards, 58 rushing touchdowns, and 60 receptions, showing rare blend of power, efficiency, and pass-game value. He wasn’t just productive — he was a big-moment back with a knack for finishing drives and elevating Boise State’s offense when the lights were brightest.
