It would be the same out come but maybe even a little less than LF7 that D-line is just so good

If Henry had LSU offensive line all year he'd have 1600 yards. Bama's O line has been bad all year. They looked good against LSU, but they have the worst front 7 outside of A&M that Bama has played all year. 

Fournette has 1000+ yards before contact meaning before Saturday Fournette was a product of that offensive line. Guice looked just as impressive in some games as LF behind that Oline.



At least admit you haven't really watched LSU this year.



For 3 weeks straight we heard that the LSU OL was the best in the country. That they would be able to handle the front 7 of Bama and when Saban brought the safeties up that BH would burn them deep. So are you saying that the LSU OL was overrated due to the level of competition played?

They deserved the high praise they got after their games against AU and UF. They played well as a unit and pretty much all of them will go in the first 3 rounds in their respective draft years, with Vadal a possibly late first rounder. Bama's DL ended up being on another level. I'll admit I underestimated them after last year's performance against Ohio State.

No respect for rare talent. You must be unhappy or something.

but just the fact that bama d line is so good


And that's one reason why he's so good. Who do you think he went up against every day in the spring and fall camp?

Legitimate question - but the way that D line played, 3rd Reich would not have gotten through.

Henry is a more powerful back. He could pound the line for a few more yards but if there's nowhere to go then he ain't going anywhere either. I would say 50 yards. But, I wonder if a camera had been from behind the line of scrimmage if we would have seen any creases because Henry has gotten VERY good at hitting small creases.

Yep.



Unless we're just trolling. In that case Henry would have had 210 yards.

25% of Henry's yards came in the final 3 minutes of the game.

Given the huge holes Bamas OL was opening up I would realistically expect LF7 to rush for close to 300 if he was lined up for Bama last Saturday.

What are you talking about? Even after Henry rolled up 200+ on them, they're still the 7th best rushing defense in the entire country.

I don't see fournette as a rare talent. Gurley was just in the SEC last year. How can he be consider rare talent when there was a more talented back in the conference just last year. Gurley has better top end speed,toughness, and was a threat out of the back field.

Leonard had fear in his eyes on Saturday. That same fear that Auburn dbs had when he ran through them is the same fear LF had on Saturday.
