I'm not even sure you can even classify him as having "happy feet".

It's more of, "oh shite I have the ball, what do I do now?".

Which is what is baffling to me. Something changed after the IU game. It seems like a mental problem or something.

I think he's lost trust in the line, the receivers, and himself. It's a snowball effect, and Henson doesn't seem to know how to call the right plays to ease his anxiety. Calling runs to the edge, etc., is not helping the offense.

There is nothing any of us can do except hope it's a phase.

I haven't gone back to re-watch it, but I remember one play during the game where after getting the snap, you immediately saw the happy feet, then it was like to you could seem him consciously saying settle down, then it was immediately happy feet again the "Wait, there's no pressure" then right back to happy feet. You can see him fighting the urge to just run around. I really think this developed from the system he played in during high school more so than because of this line or these receivers. That's not to say this OL and WR group don't need to improve, but I think it was ingrained way before coming here.
