How many more games in a season did Henry play as opposed to Walker?
I saw Herschel with my own eyes in 1982 when Georgia played State in Starkvegas.
We had a great defense. We shut him down or at least we thought we did. His longest run of the day was 18 yards. But at the end of the game he rushed it 30 times for a buck seventy-five. He was never tackled for a loss and akways fell forward when was tackled.
We lost 29-22 after a late TD by UGA and we were driving deep in their territory and had an untimely fumble that ended the game. Absolutely one of the best games I have ever watched and it was nationally televised by CBS.
Walker/Bo and then the rest.

Henry did it on less carries than Walker.
When Henry broke the record, not counting bowl games:
quote:
Herschel in 1981: 385 carries for 1,891 yards. Derrick Henry this year to this moment: 327 carries for 1,932 yards.
Henry of course would still play more games after that.
