In the third quarter, Partridge told Johnson it was his responsibility, his mission, to rally the Owls from a 17 point first half deficit. Johnson heard the message. His response to Partridge was simple: I got you, Coach. We re going to do this.
After the exchange, Johnson helped the Owls score 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to complete their trilling 45 38 home win over the Hilltoppers on Saturday. The victory was one the Owls desperately needed to remain capable of becoming bowl eligible with five games remaining.

Throughout the first half, Partridge watched his defense give up big play after big play.

After scoring a touchdown to cut their deficit to 10 points, the Owls let the Hilltoppers respond with a touchdown a 22 yard pass from Doughty to tight end Henry Mitchell 12 seconds before halftime.
