re: Does Henry owe his Heisman *in large part* to LSU?

A. LSU gave Henry the biggest Heisman boost I've ever seen a player get by virtue of being completely destroyed at the line of scrimmage by Bama.
Meh, he was already in the discussion. Needed a big game on a big stage and delivered.
B. LSU is responsible for taking LF away from Bama, who (lets be frank) would be getting a minimum of half of the carries for the Tide, if not the majority.
Nah, Bama took LF away and we did with mostly base defenses. About midway through the 3rd the guy sitting next to me said "the kid from Tennessee is much better than Fournette" and I agreed. Fournette didn't win because down the stretch he faded. He may in the end be great but he was not even the best back that came through Ttown this season. I wouldn't call him one of the best 5 I saw lay in person this year. So no. We don't look at Fournette the way LSU does. Just like we don't think Zach Mettenberger or OBJ was all that hot either. Sorry, just didn't do anything against us. We covered OBJ with marginal DB's. I swear LSU fans think they invented football I believe and perfected it and we should all measuer ourselves against them. No, we stopped Fournette and quite frankly, knew we would because his lateral movement is avg.

Our inability to beat Alabama in anything meaningful since 2011 has us all with the beaten little sibling syndrome.
We seem to come in second against you too often and we are irrationally dilluded because of that.
Fournette can't run into a brick wall and break through. Lsu o line was pathetic in that game. They couldn't spread the field.

I don't see how this helps your argument of having great talent evaluation abilities.
