to get that close to Henry
Um, Henry didn't even catch Leonard in yards until playing in 12 games compared to Leonard's 11 in the regular season.
If you really want to keep pushing the Fournette gained his yards vs bad teams argument, then go compare their stats vs common opponents.
No one seems to have an answer for why it took Henry 13 more carries to get nine more yards vs Florida.

I'm listing facts. Here is another. Booger rushed for over 200 yards against the 80th, 126th, and dead last 128th ranked rushing defenses. All teams Henry didn't get the luxury of playing. Draw your own conclusions.

I've seen claims that Bama is RBU from time to time on here. Sure is...odd, but I don't see even 1 Bama RB in the top 12 of the SEC's all-time yards rushed list. Even though yards rushed > avg/game it is being said.
Strange that 3 of the top 7 are LSU RBs. Likely 4 of top 8 after next year
