ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Remember when it was said that Marshall running back Devon Johnson’s chances of playing in the 2015 St. Petersburg Bowl were about as good as the chance of snow for Christmas in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area?

Well, it looks like Santa Claus mysteriously sprinkled a bit of snow over Christmas night in Florida.

Johnson is suited up for the Herd on Saturday and will play in Marshall’s contest against UConn in the St. Petersburg Bowl.

wow I hope he is healed up. If he is ready to go that would be huge IMO.Hope he doesn't try to stuff an entire season into todays game. Hope he just takes it one carry at a time. The yards will come and no fumbles

The man has to feel good to get to play another game in the green and white, and in a bowl game.

Go Herd !!

More from Taylor's article......


Since being cleared to resume activity, however, Johnson has reportedly looked solid in drills — enough so that the Herd coaching staff deemed him ready to resume practice, which he did over the weekend and with the team while in St. Petersburg.

According to one source within the program, Johnson will play, but is going to be on a “pitch count”, which means he isn’t expected to take the bulk of the snaps.

I see him being a captain, getting to start (as a tribute of thanks), then sit.

Looked pretty decent, all things considered. Powered through some guys, got some extra yards after contact. You could tell he wasn't himself though. Glad he got one last game in with us though.

Once again Landon was WRONG

I knew when Chuck guaranteed he wouldn't play that he would play.
