But really I expect a big game from Henry. He really is a chip-on-the-shoulder bring your lunch pail kind of player. I know he's chomping at the bit to be in prime time on the same field as Fournette

He's not as good as Fournette, get real...but he is a very good back. Dude is averaging like 130 a game

He is as good as Fournette in the second level btw. Fournette just puts him to shame in the first level

Not sure what the is all about. The OP said Henry is not being talked about, and that's pure bullshite. Henry can have a chip on his shoulder, but it's not due to being overlooked.
Now saying that, LSU run defense is only allowing about 15 more rush yards per game than bama. Both backs will find yards hard to come by.

Exactly. The OP was suggesting the opposite.

Henry in the second level is definitely on par with Fournette. He just needs a bigger hole in the first level and needs to get a head of steam.

Both are absolutely GONE in the second level though. Should be a great game.

Couldn't disagree more. His straightline speed is very deceptive and underrated but I think he runs too stiff and upright to be as good as Fournette in that category. It's not a fair standard though. His vision might be a little better but that's pretty damn hard to tell at least for an untrained eye like mine.

Henry is like Jeremy Hill. He looks like he is running way slower than the people chasing him but for some reason they can't catch him.

I wouldn't say he is as good as Fournette though. Fournette seperates himself from defenders quickly. He seems much faster this year than he was last year.
