Jokes on him for winning the National Championship.


You know what Henry didn't do? He didn't play against the 80th, 109th, 126th, and dead last 128th ranked rushing defense.

Certainly great at making excuses for Henry.

Can you imagine what Henry's stats would have been if got the luxury of rushing against the 80th, 109th, 126th, and the dead last 128th ranked rushing defenses in the country?

I'm confident he would get more than 31 yards. Several RBs broke that number against Bama.

I listed verifiable facts. You drew your own conclusion that there is an excuse for Henry in that.

You mean you listed some possible excuses as to why Henry didnt win the NCAA rushing champ award, sorry he's just not as good.

Fournette ran for 15 more yards per game on 1.5 less carries per game for an average of almost a yard more per carry.

If he jumps above Harris on the depth chart. Which he should, Harris has absolutely no vision at this point. We'll see but the early favorite has to be ScarBo.

yeah, kind of like fournette had more total yards against common opponents, but i guess we can pretend and assume about what henry would have done against alabama's defense. i guess i should pull out a number of what fournette would have done against lsu's too then? i guess i'll just say more than henry since it's impossible to disprove

It's just like LSU.

I don't think you understand the meaning of the word 'greatest'.

But seriously, good for him.

I swear everyone has forgotten that before this season, his biggest plays were catching balls out of the slot against OU and OSU in the bowl games. The guy is an above average receiver at the position, and an excellent blocker.

If nothing else, he will stay on a team as a FB/HB. He is also a mismatch waiting to happen in the slot.


This is the correct answer.

He's not going to be a 25 carry a game NFL running back. He's going to be a 12-15 carry and 5-10 reception every down player that will give defenses fits.
