One was on QB but yes, twice the rock was on the turf. 30-6, 30-16 who (except me) saw that coming?

Interesting stat... makes one think Alabama would have played one more game than LSU.

And even with that anomaly only averages 24/game, against a quality schedule


The last 5 games and all against conferences teams Henry is averaging 30 a game. I think Saban told Kiffin after the Ole Miss Henry will be the man to carry the team. Let him have the rock.

I also think near the end of the LSU game one of the last few runs put Henry over 200yds and Saban wanted Henry to get over that mark in the game. I wish he would have done that in the Arkansas game.

The cakewalk is over though. Lsu has entered the "we stop the run" part of the schedule

Honestly I have no idea. Saban is normally pretty good about putting in back ups and playing run the clock out once they are up. This year he feeds henry. Maybe the other backs have turnover probs

t 9 minutes backed in your own end zone. But probably around the 2 minute mark he ran Henry a couple of more times, then took the victory snap. It's those 2 - 3 plays at the end, I'm concerned about.


I actually agree with this.

Heisman carries.... It's a down year for superstars in college football so Henry has a great chance of winning if the stats are there. If he wins the heisman it obviously helps in recruiting, not that Saban needs it.

Yeah, Texas A&M is a real run stopping juggernaut.. giving up 218 yards per game (holy shite )

Ole Miss and Arkansas are giving up ~125 yards per game.

Saban does this often. While at LSU, all American center Ben Wilkerson was hurt on the last play of the game in a game at hand.



Did it with Mauck too in 2002 against Florida. Ruined the season.
