re: Is Derek Henry the least hyped pre-draft Heisman winner in history?

Let me ask you objectively, and put down the fan goggles and answer honestly, if you guys had Christian McCaffrey instead of Derek Henry against Ole Miss, would you have won?

Probably, but only because Christian McCaffery wouldn't have fumbled 2 kickoffs inside our 20 yard line like our return guys did.

As for the actual running back production, not really, no.

Derek Henry had impressive numbers in the Ole Miss game, but the vast majority of those numbers game during parts of the game when everybody thought the game was over and Ole Miss had 2nd team in

Yea, because we handed Ole Miss a 2 score lead right off the bat, our backup QB threw interceptions and we played from behind the entire night.

Henry won us football games when other teams knew they were getting him. He wore people down, he finished them off. I'm sure Kiffin would have found 100 different ways to get McCafferry tons of touches and yards, but without Henry pounding the other team I don't think we would have won all of the rest of our games, no.
