henry is a beast in space, fournette has very good vision, but fournette is the better second level back and henry sees the holes (specifically on the interior line) better than fournette...that doesn't mean henry sucks in space or fournette has shite for vision
I actually don't feel like Henry has great vision between the tackles. He's quite good running behind a lead blocker, though. He would excel at LSU.. not that he hasn't at Bama.

Cmon, dh hasn't gotten to feast on the auburn defense yet. I think without that game lf7 is averaging a bit under 1 yard a carry

Honestly, I don't get the hoopla over Henry. Terrible running back. His style I mean. He runs upright, too high. No pad level at all. I'm surprised they have never corrected that, his RB coach at Bama. Dude will take some shots in the NFL with that style and won't have a very long career. Lacy has proven to be the best Alabama back since the Saban era there.
but Alabama's good OLine as usual opens up massive holes for Henry to just rumble down field. And he isn't very fast it's just that none of the runs are very long. Most of them like 40 to 50 yards where he's already out front of the DB's so they can't catch him from behind. If it were a 70, 80 yard run he would be tackled from behind. The OP sayin Henry has better vision than Fournette is crazy laughable. Fournette's vision is extraordinary this season. LSU's OLine really is never as good as Alabama's and Fournette breaks a lot of those long runs because of his great vision with his cut backs and all. This kid is the complete package and NFL teams are drooling. I wish he could go pro in the spring.
