Two years ago, Devon Johnson converted from tight end to running back on the first day of fall camp. What followed next was a season that Johnson competed as one of the nation's top running backs. However, Johnson's days are headed toward playing on Sunday, leaving Marshall searching for a Saturday superstar.
How quickly things can change from one season to the next. That was the case for Marshall football in 2015. Devon Johnson took the nation by storm in 2014, rushing for nearly 1,800 yards and 17 touchdowns. The Herd had three players handle the rock for 100 or more carries that season while a pass-happy offense led by Rakeem Cato transformed into a balanced attack virtually overnight.
