Fournette had as many yards against arkansas as Henry, but just act like that didn't happen.

Henry ironically had four more yards.

Actually Henry had 1.3 less yards per carry

LF 4.8

DH 3.5


Look, Henry is one of the best backs at the second level I have ever seen. But he isn't as good as LF at getting through the line if the hole isn't there

Fournette also had more total yards with certainly a worse offense and OL, and we had to shut down the run to try to catch up.

You must not have seen a lot of great backs. He's very good, but let's not act like he's got some kind of blistering acceleration. I have said this multiple times and I don't think it's the end-all-be-all, but Pro Football Focus hasn't even had Henry in the Top 10 of RBs in the country.

He is fast as shite for a big guy. But if he is met at or being the line he is fricked. He got maybe 15 yards yesterday with a stacked box. The first time MSU went to a 3-3-5 he was gone untouched

I don't think you understand irony.

Four yards is minimal but I said "ironically" because LF7 has four in his name.

When I think of second level, I'm thinking acceleration, quickness, and ability to break tackles. He's only elite at one of those categories. He's got pretty good vision/patience, elite size and strength, and very good top end speed.

It's hilarious. Bama fans know it's the truth but pout and down vote it like it's some kind of fantasy land.

I think most non trolls would on both sides. In the open field Henry is the best there is. LF is better at making the tough yards. I mean yesterday against Arky was fun to watch. He was dragging not Arkys whole line for 6-10 yards. Then we never gave him the ball again

This is such a big misconception. We have all now seen what Fournette can(or can't) do when there is shitty blocking.

That is what Henry has dealt with all year, brahs. Henry is very good at breaking tackles and dodging defenders at the line. It looks like he is cutting slow because he is so freaking big, but the dude is impressive at the point of attack.

That's not obvious or ironic.
