The Post’s Ethan Sears breaks down the Fiesta Bowl (Saturday, 4 p.m., ESPN) between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU.
Johnston might be the best receiver not named Marvin Harrison Jr. the Wolverines have faced all year. The junior is 6-foot-4, 193 pounds and has the explosiveness to go make a play when needed. The trio of Gemon Green, Mike Sainristil and D.J. Turner has performed in every matchup so far this year for Michigan, but this will be another tough ask. Johnston can make a lot happen — and they’ll be needed for the Horned Frogs to win this game.
Expect McCarthy to look for him as a security blanket in tight spots. The senior outside linebacker has 7.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss, both of which lead the Horned Frogs. His tackling has been suspect at times, but Winters might be TCU’s best chance to get some pressure on McCarthy. He’ll face a tough matchup in Michigan left tackle Ryan Hayes, and it’ll be worth keeping an eye on where the pendulum swings between the two of them.
