Barring injury, you will see Martin and Henderson on the field. Bank on it!

That'll be interesting, if in fact you're right. Because as someone mentioned here, Coach Bennett has said he likes to find one horse and ride him, and by all indications, Foy Munlin is that horse. If not, you'd think Massey and Dorsey would get first crack at a backup role, because Coach Bennett also has said in the past that ideally, he'd like to redshirt ALL incoming freshmen. I know RB is a position you can play as a true freshman, because instinct is a big part of it. But .... I'll be surprised if both play. One? Maybe. Both? Longshot, in my estimation.

Henderson would also be very dangerous in the slot. We need players with explosive breakaway speed, and big play potential. The coaches will be looking hard, to find places to get these two athletes on the field.

I agree, Henderson could be dynamite in the slot, catching quick screens and slants, and running reverses and end-arounds. I like the idea of redshirting every freshman you can, but that speed can be a game-breaker. Even at his size, I'd like to see him on the field.
