To Bama fans. In your opinion, which back gets more touches next year and which one gets more yards? In your opinion, which one is better? Henry put on a show in the bowl and I see a bright future for this kid.

I think they'll split carries pretty evenly, maybe Yeldon getting a bit more. Henry is too good to keep off the field.

Unless Yeldon's fumble-itis continues to flare up, I think you will see Yeldon get a majority of the carries. But not by a lot.

Can't forget about Drake either.

does he know how to block...asked differently, is his inability to block what kept him off the field?

Yeldon isn't built to be a #1 back. They should get near equal carries, but Henry should start

My thoughts exactly.

I hope Henry gets the most carries. I see him being the 2nd back until Yeldon starts fumbling again though.

Yeldon has big play potential every time he touches the ball but I just don't see him as enough of a grinder to be the feature back in Bama's offense. Henry on the other hand can get the tough yards and still has big play potential as well.

They gave Henry touches in the Sugar Bowl because he looked great in bowl practice. I'm sure that'll probably be the case in spring/fall practice. Yeldon's very good, but I wouldn't be surprised for them to be leery of giving him work in crucial situations.

Agreed. Yeldon will be the primary back until he fumbles it away or Henry goes beast mode.

Three headed monster rotation with Yeldon starting Drake and Henry will play important roles as we all know CNS is all about balance. But there must be some kind of way to get Chris Black on the field that guy is a stud.

Henry looks fricking good. Yeldon is very good but fumbles way too much.

Henry.

Put it this way, Yeldon being stuffed is a part of Auburns highlight reel.

Henry's Sugar Bowl runs will give the SEC coaches nightmares this year.

Unless Yeldon stops putting the ball on the ground he will carry less and less.

He had a really good game against AU. Sure, he got stuffed a couple of times, but that was because of a missed blocking assignment.

It will probably pretty even, but I really like what I saw from Henry at the end of the year. He has some wheels for his size.

Henry time!!! Nobody wants to tackle that dude. He's unlike anything I've ever seen in the SEC

If they feed it to Henry more in the 2nd half of the Sugar Bowl, the outcome might have been different.
