[edit] Break the losing streak

Coach Johnson's first 12 consecutive losses played a part in the worst losing streak in NCAA history of 88 games between 1989 and 1998.[3] However, it was in the fourth game of his second season as head coach when the streak was broken by a 14-12 victory over Langston University.[4][5][6] Tensions over the losing streak had grown so high at the school that the entire marching band was suspended by the conference the week before as a result of fighting between marching bands.[7]
