So does this end the debate about who is better, Taylor or Henry?

How does an injury in his freshmen year end that debate? Neither have played a down of college football.

Solid logic, considering it is a minor injury in the grand scheme of things. Did your feelings get hurt by recruiting analysts or something? This seems like a strange thing to be flinging shite at.

It's the major weight-bearing bone in your lower leg. Large running back types tend to put a lot of stress on the major weight-bearing bones in their legs...

Michigan's RB (Toussaint?) broke his tibia in November, also had surgery, and he hasn't been cleared to practice yet. He's also apparently "ahead of schedule."

I think we should red shirt him just to be safe. We have little to lose with redshirting him.

That really sucks, but it's not like they'll miss him. Theyve got about six national top 100 backs on the roster.

I think his running style is set up for injury. Not that the kid isn't a beast, he surely is, but kids naturely go in low to tackle beasts like him, and his upright style is prone to lower extremity injury IMO. Most have him moving to another position, and why he's atop of the charts as an athlete.. Here's to a speedy recovery..

Why because I don't like Gumps. Sorry never have never will. I don't really care for auburn fans too much either.

If it was the fibula then he'll be back in no time.

He reminds me of Eddie George. Love his style of running.

Hope the best for him.

Sorry Taylor, but Henry holds the high school records.

I feel bad for Derrick Henry, I don't feel bad for Alabama fans. I'm glad you are upset.
