Henry, Fournette on collision course

Leonard Fournette and Derrick Henry are on a collision course.

That doesn’t mean that the two premier running backs in the Southeastern Conference are going to line up in opposite end zones tonight, then roll like locomotives on a single track to a mighty meeting at the 50-yard line. That’s probably for the best, if you can imagine the resulting tremors, the damage to property and the confusion at NASA as its scientists scramble to discover just where an undetected meteor struck the Earth.

Instead, it will be a collision in context. Both are members of a team, playing major roles but in a larger drama.
