We definitely need him in the playoffs. Not sure we NEED him for Florida but I'd at least like to see Harris and Bo spell Henry some.

I'd only play him as a decoy, then rest him up for the playoffs. Saban hinted near post-Iron Bowl that, while it was a great performance for Henry, he said he kinda wished someone else would have stepped up. Harris didn't look too bad on the carries he got, and certainly we would all wish Bo would get his, so maybe that's what we'll see vs Florida.

Anyways, I digress. I don't know how much Florida would respect a Drake that is hampered with an injury. Just sit him IMO and let him rest up.

I think I'd keep him out for this game unless there's a full blown emergency. Unleash him in the playoffs.

Dont see him playing. If we need him to beat Florida then we dont deserve to win that game. 1 more months rest and he should be good for the playoffs. Getting him back at all is just awesome at this point.

I'm hoping Henry can rip off a few, secure his Heisman, and get us a big lead. If he can do that on 10-15 carries it'd be nice to get Harris and Scarbrough some work with the 1s in the second half. Let Drake rest up unless we really need him. Have some special plays for him come Playoff time, should we get there.

Getting Harris and Scarborough more time would be a far better use of any spare snaps.

Would love to see Henry get about 150, a TD or two, and most of the second half off.

Yea i wonder if Bo Scar can learn enough of the offense to be a contributor come the playoffs. He has looked better than Harris, minus what appeared to be suspect ball handling, so i have to guess that he just doesnt know the offense well enough (blocking assignments etc) to get on the field. Seems like a month would be enough to get him caught up for at least a few of the plays.

Pretty slim, I'd say. Less than 10% odds.

Hopefully, we can put this one to bed early and get Henry off the field. Get the young guns some reps.

I'm going with zero. Let that thing heal and have him ready for playoffs.
