But against OU it seemed like Yeldon was stopped again but all I remember is Henry busting that big TD. Didn't look at the stats but seems as if Henry outdid Yeldon, I was cheering for Bama, so I was yelling not Yeldon go with Henry!! I don't think I was alone that night.

Henry definitely outdid him in the Sugar Bowl.

Yeldon reminds me alot of Ricky Waters, tons of talent with big play potential every time he touches the ball, but fumbles way too much. If he can hold onto the ball he is the better back, until then Henry gets the nod.

As an objective party, I think Yeldon gets his number called more often in the first 3-4 games, then gets outshined by Henry.

which one is better

Henry, and I don't think it's close. This kid is the real deal (as much as it pains me to say it). He'll probably lead the league in rushing yards within 2 years.

Enjoy him while you can, bammers. This kid will make noise early in the league.

Saban said Henry was "phenomenal" in bowl practices and it showed in the sugar bowl. If he keeps that up than nobody in the country would start over Henry, and he will make things a lot easier on the new bama QB. Also it appeared that henry figured out how to pass block. It was really just a recognition issue for him bc he is certainly big enough to block anyone.

Henry's future is bright, cant wait to see what he can do next season. Drake is also very explosive, he gashed AU in the first half and never ran it again, despite playing special teams.

I believe Yeldon is very good but it seemed like he has to have a whole there and does not make a hole like a RB has to do sometimes.

Either was you can throw a rock in Tuscaloosa and hit a good RB but I think (hope) Mr. Henry might be a different type of ball player.

I don't understand what others are seeing. Henry will be better than Richardson, Lacy and Yeldon. Dude is a monster.

Honestly...Drake.

I think Yeldon's the 3rd best back on the team if Henry can run the way he showed out against OU full time.

Drake gets to the hole fast, and he runs with bad intentions. I just don't think he can stay out of the doghouse long enough to really show out.

Barring injury, Henry will be the best back the SEC has seen in a long time

If Yeldon hangs onto the ball he gets bulk of carries. Henry is the better back

I went to the Sugar Bowl and it was crystal clear in person that Henry was the superior back, on that night at least.

That guy is gonna be scary.
