Jordan Marshall Stepping Up as RB1
It looks like Jordan Marshall will be the starter in this game. I don't think it is worth risking more injury to Justice Haynes, even if he can find a way to be cleared. Their next three games can be used to recover, as they shouldn't be tough games.
Jordan Marshall has been a great backup to Haynes as he rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown against Michigan State. Marshall is a more physical runner, but he has been breaking off some long runs for touchdowns as of late.
Another big factor in the backfield is how Jasper Parker can do in relief to Marshall. We've seen very little of him this season, but even as a true freshman, he has gotten a lot of praise from his coaches and teammates. There was a coachable moment he had with Head Coach Sherrone Moore, where he cut to the outside and just missed getting into the end zone against Washington.
