no it isn't. It's a convenient tool to use in your justification of a player putting up worse stats in all but one category being better. Also, Henry played much better on big games against good opponents then LF did. LF feasted on shite teams in the beginning of yalls schedule


RB A:
1,000 total yards. 155 carries. 12 TDs.

RB B:
1,250 total yards. 213 carries. 16 TDs.

Which is more impressive? Let's say for experiments sake.. they played the same teams.

Wanna know why Steve McNair didn't win the Heisman in 95?

Because he played D1-AA.

SEC >> Pac12 any day of the week.

I'm not arguing that he should or shouldn't win it or even whether he deserves it or not. Just pointing out that some Bama fans' notion that Henry is so much better than Fournette is just flat out false. If Henry had to run up against anything even remotely close to Bamas d-line, along with playing 2 fewer games, he wouldn't be headed to New York either.

Cook were on the bench instead of padding his stats against beaten competition


All numbers are subject to interpretation.

I could counter with this stat:

On third and short, Cook had 7 carries for 1 yard. His coaches realized he was worthless when they needed those couple of yards.

In contrast, Henry ran it 22 times for 51 yards. Teams stacked the line against him, and he still got the first down over half the time and was head and shoulders better than Cook. Third and medium, Henry truly shone - 9 attempts leading to 7 first downs.

LF also managed to get a first down about half the time on third and short, with a bit better YPC; however, LSU only gave it to him 4 times at 3rd and mid, for 2 first downs.

Henry was the better third down back.

VS FBS teams with a winning record, LF averaged 125 YPG and 4.9 YPC.

Henry? 159 YPG and 5.9 YPC.

Cook's most egregious sin? Being shutdown by a BAD Tech team, and that led to their loss. Henry wasn't shutdown in Bama's loss; Cook was (Tech). LF was (Bama).

That, and Alabama faced 10 teams with winning records to FSU's 6.

187/game to 154. Why not use the LSU/Bama game? It counts.

That is... well, weird to read. If one defense was good against LF, they were horrible against Henry and vice-versa.

He's not being a jerk - he was asked for stats against common opponents. LF has never run (in a game) against LSU's D, and Henry has never run (in a game) against Bama's D.

Second time that he's posted it in the thread and actually head to head is included when comparing common opponents, they both participated.

Really?? Because those are stats for their COMMON opponents- Henry didn't play against Bama and Fournette didn't play against LSU.... That's kind of the whole point.... Against common opponents, LF actually has better overall stats. Henry faced NOTHING even remotely close to bamas d-line- which is why he's going to New York over LF.

And against SEC competition LF7 averaged 5.77 ypc vs Henrys 5.67.. and Henry didn't have to rush against the NFL front 7 that carries this Bama team.

Against Power-5 competition LF7 6.20 ypc, DH 5.92 ypc

Because that's not a common defense faced.
