Saban wears his running backs out. They are pretty beat up by the time they get to the NFL.

TE have the shortest life span in the NFL, followed by running backs.

No way to tell how he does at the next level, but that should never take away from what he did in college.

Neither can I. It's something we will find out eventually, but until we get there, we can't say with certainty one will out play the other.

That "book it" bs always seems to come back on them. Remembering how many "book it's" I read before the Henry/Fornette head to head.

He definitely does not have the it factor. Fournette might have ran for three thousand yards with that o line.

Yeah its not like it was a middle linebacker going up against a running back. They play on the same side of the ball. Stupidest argument ever. Our play calling is horrible that is why Fournette had 31 yards.

Anybody want to bet as tho who will be the better NFL back - Henry or Fournette? Henry runs too straight up and is not shifty - he will be just an average back in the NFL. Fournette will be a star in the NFL.

It says nothing about LSU. It's a faster league. Henry is a great player but the foot speed is what I wonder about in the NFL. He has those daddy long legs and a long stride. I'm I interested to see how he translates. Great back tho. No question.

Hey are you 10 years old? There is no running back head to head challenge. Stop with that crap. They are never on the field at the same time. Bama ad was way more stout on the D line. Period.

Did they face the same defense with the same offensive line?

He rushed for more yards in high school than anyone. Ever. He broke the SEC rushing record for yards and TD's in a season. He will deservedly take home the Heisman trophy tonight.

And this automatically translates in the NFL?

You could replace the name in the title with Trent Richardson and say the same thing. Ultimately, physical skills only get you so far. We'll find out soon enough.
