Shite Henry would've tore the SEC up back then too.. SEC wasnt what it is today, I mean we had coker lmao. Henry carried our offense like he wouldve carried Arkansas and wouldve started from day one




Henry would have been a great back no matter what time frame. My point was that DMC was very versatile which really helped out a mediocre team. I would also take Coker over Casey Dick easily.

The argument that his stats are purely due to volume is just factually not true. I don't know why you continue to peddle it.

But they didn't. Mainly because of Henry


90% front 7
10% Henry

LF7 could have had his exact same stats and if LSU had the record Alabama did he would have dominated Heisman voting

It had less to do with Henry and more to do with Alabama. That happens when you're CFBs flagship

Dang, we held the 3rd greatest running back in SEC history to 116 yards on 36 carries over his career, including 18 carries for 39 yards his last 2 seasons?

Man, we're impressive.

Please, show me where I've moved the goalposts in our discussion.

It shouldn't be too hard for you, right?

The SEC was VERY good in the mid-2000s, especially on defense.

We talking about Henry's stats as a backup?

5.6 yards per carry in his year as a starter. Again.. that is laughably bad for a top tier RB.

How does one get to 2k yards with a meager 5.6 ypc? 15 games and large volume of carries.

He had 172 carries for 990 yards his sophomore year. He was 1B, not a backup.

So, remove 2013 then, when he was purely a back up.

5.66 ypc (more than Herschel), TD every 14.5 attempts (more than both - by far)

Again, the argument that his stats are all based on volume is dumb. It doesn't make any sense.

No. But that's when Fournette started losing it and Henry completely took over and went apeshit and won it. Like trophy winners should.

If LF breaks Herschel's career yds record, where does he go on the list?

Dang, we held the best *snicker* SEC RB every to 95 yards and 3.5 ypc this season, and only 25 yards on 7 carries his junior season?
