2008 season

Prior to Johnson's sophomore season, head coach Mike Sherman became the Aggies' new coach. During fall camp Johnson competed for the starting job with senior Stephen McGee, but lost out to the veteran team leader. Johnson was then moved to part time receiver. He made his first catch vs Arkansas State for a gain of 36 yards. His role as a wide receiver continued for only a brief period. In the second game of the season, vs New Mexico, Stephen McGee suffered a right shoulder sprain on the opening series. Johnson stepped in and completed 10-of-19 for 124 yards and 3 touchdowns.[3][4] He returned to the wide receiver position against Army, but McGee re-injured his shoulder during the game, causing Johnson to step in and rout A&M to a victory. In the game against Kansas State, Johnson compiled 419 passing yards and 487 offensive yards, which are both single game school records.[5] Against Iowa State, he threw for 381 yards and a career-best four touchdown passes.[6][7][8] Johnson threw for a career-high of 4 interceptions against Baylor.

2009 season

Johnson and Ryan Tannehill battled for the starting position during the 2009 offseason; Johnson eventually won the job.[9] Johnson led the team to a 6–6 regular season record, which included lopsided losses to Arkansas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma, but also an upset win at Texas Tech. Johnson compiled a school-record 3,217 passing yards in the regular season, and also leads the Big 12 in touchdown passes.[10] In the 2009 Advocare v100 Independence Bowl, Johnson completed 29 of 58 passes for 362 yards with two touchdowns, but was also sacked three times and intercepted twice in the 44-20 loss to Georgia.
