It was a proper cat-fight when Canyon challenged Johnson on Friday. The Cougars blew past the Jaguars 28-7. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Cougars also won the last time the pair played back in October of 2024.

Canyon's run defense was locked in: Johnson could only muster 2.7 yards per carry. The team can thank Devin Lagunas for the heroic effort on defense: he. Canyon's ground attack was stronger, having averaged 4.5.

Canyon's defense didn't let Jonah Montgomery, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Abram Ramirez, Clay Robbins, and David Aguirre, who each picked up one sack apiece. Another thorn in Johnson's side was Ramirez, who picked up a sack and made 12 total tackles (2.0 for loss).

When it comes to explaining why Johnson lost, don't look at Keane McGettrick. Despite the final result, he picked up 84 receiving yards and one TD. McGettrick showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 66 yards.
