Dean Connors News: Co-starting in Week 1

Connors is listed as a co-starter at tailback alongside Re'Shaun Sanford and J'Marion Burnette, per Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle.

Connors is the second listed tailback on Houston's initial two-deep, but he's an "Or" starter alongside Sanford and Burnette. All three backs figure to see time, but it remains to be seen how the exact pecking order will shake out. Still, after posing 780 yards with Rice last fall, expect Connors to see a sizable workload.
