According to an item in today's Lincoln Journal Star, Coach Johnston has added a former Husker as a GA. Nice thing about the article is it's as much about our program as about our new GA.
Johansen coaching in S.D.
Nebraska's regular-season opener in November will feature a familiar face on the opposing bench.
Jina Johansen, the only senior on the 2004-05 Nebraska team, has accepted a job as a graduate assistant coach at South Dakota State, which plays in Lincoln on Nov. 19. Johansen graduated from Nebraska with a degree in nutritional science.
The Jackrabbits' second game is at Drake, coached by Amy Stephens, who was an assistant at Nebraska during Johansen's sophomore season.
South Dakota State, in its first season of competition in NCAA Division I-A in 2004-05, still posted its fourth straight 20-win season, finishing 21-7. The Jacks defeated Kentucky, Oklahoma State and Alabama and lost to Rutgers, Purdue, Southern Cal and Oregon State.
Aaron Johnston will begin his sixth full season as head coach at SDSU. He led the school to three consecutive NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearances, including the first national championship in the program's history during the 2002-03 season.
