After a touchdown in his first college game on Sept. 3, freshman back Brian Lankford-Johnson was thinking big.

Even if Markell Jones was in front of him on the depth chart, Lankford-Johnson figured an eye-opening Week 1 performance would produce more snaps the next week. It didn't. Or in the next. Or the next. Or the next.
