Key Player to Watch
Robert Henry Jr. wasn’t the headline act in the Roadrunners’ win over Tulane but stands out as his team’s most consistent weapon. The running back has racked up 955 rushing yards and nine touchdowns this season. Only two backs in the nation currently have more yards, yet Henry averages over two yards per carry more than each of them.
