senior in high school.
“It was a new program, and I
thought it would be exciting,”
Johnson says. “I could look back
20 years from now and say I was
there when that started because
it’s going to be a great program. ”
Head coach Bill Steffen says he
knew Johnson was ready to make
an impact for his program when
he was watching her play one time
at Springfield’s indoor soccer cen
ter, Kick City.
“Somebody just knocked her
down, and I liked how quickly she
got back up and won the ball back
from the person who knocked her
down,” Steffen says. “I think that
typifies T.J.’s attitude. She’s a
fighter. She doesn’t take things ly
ing down.”
When Johnson entered the pro
gram, she did not make significant
on-the-field contributions at first.
In the early going of her freshman
season, Johnson saw limited play
ing time off the bench.
But once Pacific-10 Conference
play started, Johnson began to
spend increasing amounts of time
on the field. She was finally insert
ed into the starting lineup at for
ward against Washington State
T.J. Johnson
FROM: Eugene
(Sheldon High
School)
POSITION: For
ward
STATS: 10 career
points {tour goals, two assists)...
started 20 of 29 games at Oregon...
five points this season ranks fourth
on team
and started seven of the Ducks’
last eight games.
Johnson attributes that increase
in minutes to adjusting to the
faster-paced college game.
“Once 1 could hold onto the ball
and distribute it quickly, that’s ba
sically all that I think got me in
there,” says the exercise and
movement science major. “1 might
not be the most-skilled player, but
I’ll always go 110 percent for my
team.”
In the season-ending stretch,
Johnson scored her second career
goal in a 2-1 win at Arizona. For
the season, she finished with five
points on two goals and an assist.
This season, Johnson has start
ed all 14 of the Ducks’ (4-8-2 over
all, 1-4 Pac-10) games. She scored
her two goals, which rank her
third on the team, in the first two
conference games against Oregon
State and Washington. Those
goals also got Johnson nominated
for Pac-10 player of the week hon
ors for the week of Oct. 12-18.
Johnson has added an assist and
ranks fourth on the team in points
with five..
"She’s improved in a couple of
areas,” Steffen says. “She’s be
come a much fitter individual. I
think tactically she’s much better
as well.”
Although Steffen says he would
have recruited Jolmson no matter
where she was from, he also ad
mits that it is nice to have a home
town player on the team.
“[The team] can appreciate hav
ing a local connection,” Steffen
says “And I think T.J. appreciates
having that connection as well.”
With the last two weeks of 1998
and the two following seasons still
to play, Johnson plans to continue
strengthening that connection —
and the young Oregon program.
Maybe staying home is not so
bad after all.

week in a row, and afterwards
Bruin head coach Bob Toledo
was talked about by a few of his
contemporaries.
The remarks in question began
after Oregon took UCLA to over
time before losing 41-38 on Oct.
17. Although Ducks quarterback
Akili Smith called the Bruin de
fense “the best defense I’ve seen
in my two years in the Pac-10,”
he also mentioned that the Ducks
gave the game away.
Oregon’s five turnovers would
seem to support that. A few days
later Southern California head
coach Paul Hackett called Ore
gon the best team in the Pac-10
((It's unbelievable to
me, it really is. >>
Bob Toledo
UCLA head coach
and said they would have won
had they not had so many
turnovers.
Now, after his team beat Cali
fornia just 28-16 on Saturday,
Toledo told the Associated Press
that Golden Bears receiver
Dameane Douglas made deroga
tory comments about the Bruins.
“It amazes me players and
coaches would make the kind of
statements they’ve been making,”
Toledo said. “It’s unbelievable to
me, it really is.”
UCLA's Atkins, Cal’s Harris
Besides Smith, UCLA’s Larry
Atkins and Cal punter Nick Har
ris were also honored for their ef
forts last week.
Atkins, a safety, had an inter
ception at the goal line and re
covered a fumble at the one-yard
line against the Golden Bears to
earn defensive player of the week
mention.
Harris averaged 45.1 yards on
nine punts, six of which landed
within the opponents 20 yard
line.
