If he's successful this year, it won't be because how accurate he is, it'll be that he can gain ~ 50 yards on the ground/game. Everything about Gus' offense is dictated on an elusive, running qb.
Gus's offense looked fine under Chris Todd in 2009 & Johnson is way more talented than Todd. Gus can structure his offense to whatever QB he has. You must remember Gus gained his fame & attention in Arkansas basically running the Mike Leach spread & lately at Auburn he's run a read option. Johnson won't have to be good running for the offense to be succesful.
