Marshall: Devon Johnson to play in Saturday's bowl
Back
December 26, 2015
Updating on a previous report, Johnson (back) will indeed play Saturday against Connecticut, Grant Traylor of the Herald-Dispatch reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Doc Holliday himself had said earlier in December that Johnson would not take the field in the bowl game due to a back injury; however, the senior back was recently fully cleared to resume football activities. Johnson has reportedly looked strong in team drills throughout the Herd's bowl practices, but Traylor is reporting that he will be on a "pitch count" for Saturday's tilt. Expect Hyleck Foster and Remi Watson to see the bulk of the carries against the Huskies, but Johnson could certainly be in line for some opportunities in his final game as a member of the Thundering Herd.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
Johnson was a tight end in spring last year, but come fall he was one of the nation's elite running backs. Johnson has bruising inside running skills at 6-1, 243, yet he showed unmatched big-play ability, totaling 1,767 yards and 17 touchdowns on just 206 carries for an incredible 8.6 yards per carry. A November shoulder injury flared up throughout the final five weeks last year, but runners his size are well-suited to big workloads. And any decrease in his rushing average likely will be offset by volume as Marshall relies on Johnson to ease the pain of star quarterback Rakeem Cato's graduation.
Gator Hoskins graduated in the offseason, and with his exit the Thundering Herd loses its valuable touchdown machine in the passing game. Hoskins caught 25 touchdowns over the last two years, leaving Marshall in search of a new red-zone target for quarterback Rakeem Cato. Johnson may be Marshall's new Hoskins. Johnson not only showed upside as a pass catcher last year, snagging 12 passes for 218 yards and two scores off the bench, but he also showed the novel ability to run the ball in short-yardage situations, scoring three times on five carries. Marshall had 120 receptions made by seniors last year, so Johnson will likely push for three or more receptions per game in 2014.
