Henry is like Jeremy Hill.
not a bad comparison.

fournette is having the better season no doubt, and he's the better player (but not by some unbelievable amount)

they're both awesome at what they do, but fournette gets the recognition (justly I might add) whereas henry is kind of a forgotten player...but he has great numbers and kiffin isn't doing him any favors with the inconsistent playcalling

We would be more fricked if we lost Henry than LSU would if they lost LF.

Bama's front 7 is filthy,it would be a hell of an accomplishment for LF to break 100.Wouldn't be surprised if DH outrushes him,then the narrative would be DH>LF.

fournette has better acceleration and is better at the second level (not by much) but henry has better vision.


The whole OP is bad, but I want to point out how dumb this portion is.



I love it when people try to say a back is better at something unquantifiable. "I reviewed his eye doctor's records, talk about impressive. Baw can see EVERYTHING!"

That's because lsu has depth, but that backup gets his attempts after fournette has battered the opposing defense into submission

i think they're 1a and 1b but what fournette does is unlike anything you regularly see. He also has very good hands. I feel like kiffin sabotages Henry a lot. This is also why I think lsu wins. Lsu feeds fournette come hell or high water, kiffin will stray from the game plan on drives and I think it is the difference in the game

300, but who's counting? I guess people saying Henry's production wouldn't be any better at LSU really don't believe their OL is that much better than Bama's.

He's criminally underrated. He's every bit as awesome as fournette, just in a less unique kind of way.



LF7 is #1 in nation in rushing.

Henry is #12 in nation in rushing.

Again this was said last year before Eliott and OSU semi-trucked that year's "filthy" defense. A dominant OL with a good RB can run on Bama all day.

Try to have better deductive reasoning skills, dude.





I am just saying that Henry gets a bad wrap as not being able to break tackles, when he is actually really good at it.

Henry could give the tigers some trouble up the middle.

And we held LF7 to under a 100 yards last year.

That was 2014, and this is 2015. Both LF7 and our run D are better than last year.
