Georgia also had no passing offense whatsoever. Teams knew Walker was getting the ball every play and couldn’t do anything about it.
Ok, so now were going to the "well the rest of the team sucked" bullshite arguments. In which the only person who should be considered for awards are players from UTEP.
Because it's not like Georgia wasn't built for the run, didn't get lineman that were best for rushing, and so on. It was 1980.
And if teams allowed Henry to get all those yards without focusing on him, well that's their own damn fault. Yet as I've already pointed out, Henry was facing better teams and better defenses.
But sure, Jake Coker was such an awesome QB, it allowed Derrick Henry to have success.

No. Our defense was really good. Lindsey Scott was a very good WR. But all you have to do is look at Georgia's statistics to see what other teams had to expect.
Buck Belue threw the ball 156 times all year. He averaged 14 passes a game.
Herschel ran the ball 274 times all year for an average of 24.9 times a game. (Herschel also caught some passes on the year. (7 I think)
So, you tell me. If you were a Defensive Coordinator would you prepare to stop the pass or the run?
Now I gave you our stats.....take the QBs when Derrick Henry played and tell me how many passes Alabama attempted per game. Alabama had a much more balanced offenses I would think, so defenses had to play you more honestly.

In the title game against Clemson, Coker threw for 335 yards.
In the Sugar Bowl against ND, Buck Belue threw for 7 yards.
