Derrick Henry is the most overrated player in the conference.

Looks like he's waiting to attack with the fist from behind.
They call that the Sam technique.

Michael Sam was on the sidelines Saturday night for the expressed purpose of preparing his former teammates for the butthurt they were about to endure.

That might be but, as our second string RB, he has almost 900 rushing yards on the year and could break 1,000 if Alabama advances to the finals.

7th in yards per carry and only nick marshall has more td's on equivalent carries. oh i guess i'll add 4 career receptions, 3 receiving tds

Henry only seems to be worth a crap in the 4th quarter. He's explosive for sure..but he's soft between the tackles. Knowing Bama players it's probably a sophomore slump.

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't pump up Henry's stats. He had a pretty disappointing year overall. He's awesome on those sweep plays and when he gets a head of steam, but he lacks lateral movement and he's too easy to tackle for his size.
I think next year with him being the feature back he should improve.

Back-ups in CFB and NFL always have higher ypc than the starter. They get less carries and are used in specific packages.
Tenpenny for example.. higher ypc than Yeldon.

As far as Bama players go.. either he or DePriest.. would get the "Biggest disappointment" label. For LSU it's Trey Quinn

most backups aren't within 25 carries of the starters, so the number differential you're proposing is way off base. also henry has more yards on fewer carries than a certain overhyped back.

He's 105 yards from 1,000 yards on the season. He and Yeldon could both end up being 1,000-yard backs this year. I'm not gonna lie, if Alabama ends up with two 1,000 yard rushers, a 1,500+ yard receiver, and a 3,500+ yard QB...that'll be pretty awesome.

Scared to get near those teeth.

Fair, but his ypc dropped from a ridiculous 10.1 last season to 5.6 this season. We all knew it would drop, but I still suspected it to be in the 7 range. Plus watching him, he is pretty terrible at moving sideways and making defenders miss.
When he hits his stride though, it's beautiful.

He lacks vision. If the hole is not there and wide open, he will run into the line and go down. I watched him do it 17 times in the Ole Miss game.

I'm not disappointed at all. We ate where I thought we could be.
