re: Heisman talk - Fournette, Henry, Cook

Yards per carry
Yards per game
Yards from scrimmage

I guess none of these are meaningful stats now?

They're all meaningful stats. Frankly, until the Bama game, I was fully in Fournette's corner. I still think he's a lot better than some trolls here give him credit for.

One thing LSU fans won't like -- and since it's difficult to quantify without going through every game, they'll be free to do so -- is the fact that Saban has a history of using Henry to eat up the clock at the end of the game, which means he often runs right into the middle of the line and grinds to a stop. That has an effect on his YPC.
