How many 500 yard passing games did Big 12 QBs even have this year?

You can cut these yards and carries in half, and as long as we win those games he's still in the Heisman race

118 on 16

105 on 19

102 on 11

are still very good games

The fact that he doubled up just shows his endurance and how important he is to us

It just eats LSU fans up that for once they were getting a shot at all the glory of having a Heisman winner and being in the mix for a championship. Alabama happened and they've been butthurt ever since. Alabama football > 1.6ypc.

Uh let's see. Henry gets popped multiple times on every play by DL, LB, and or CB on route to almost 2,000 yards rushing. So let's say on 45 carries he got popped 90 times.

Compared to a pocket passing Big XII QB that might get hit five times a game.

Mayfield is the best QB in the nation. He should be there for sure. Henry is deserving as well.

Big 12 has no defense and can't tackle. SEC still has many great defenses.

If you're on your own 20 yard line....the qb throws a 1 yard pass and then the receiver breaks tackles and takes it all the way, the qb is credited with a 80 yard td pass when actually the receiver did the work. Why?

McCaffrey is the better overall RB, but Henry is a good fit for Bama's offense and there's a significant drop off behind him so you can't discount how valuable he is.

Show me a QB that gets gang tackled by 3-5 guys as many times as DH and still gets up to pass it again and we can talk. Otherwise, you're just being naïve in thinking this is an accurate comparison.

Because he actually had to run all 200 yards. A QB can throw a screen pass and get credit for 80 yards and a TD.

I think the Ole Miss guy was replying to someone asking why Fournette wasn't invited.... not about Henry.

Since you're such a billy badass, I'd love to see you carry the ball 45+ times against an SEC defense.

I can see your argument for, maybe, a 1000-yard rusher getting the Heisman, as 1000-yard rushers are just as common as 3000-yard passers in the Big XII.

But this dude is about to hit 2,000 yards in a conference that has never seen that before.

No single Big XII player passed for 500+ yards in a single game in 2015.

However, TCU, as a team, passed for 504 yards against Texas Tech in September. Additionally, Texas Tech, as a team, passed for 500+ yards in consecutive games (Baylor, Iowa State).
