Derick Henry wasn’t even the best player on his team. Tj Yelden was way better IMO, Henry’s start/stop change of direction was too slow and would get eatin up in the backfield if the Ol didn’t dominate the DL creating 6 yards before contact ( which happened to most teams). He was a hammer because of his size and straight line speed but definitely was not the best running back in college history.

That's funny he only did well because his OLine dominated on every play, but he got 70% of his yards that season AFTER contact.

Never change LSU fans.
