Who the frick cares if teams like SDSU or Akron are ranked in the top-10 rushing defense?

LF had 26 carries vs Eastern Mich. FBS worst rushing defense. Not to mention AU's and USC's. He's piled up a bunch of his yards vs some real bad rushing defenses. Henry puts up most of his yards against better defenses. Yes I know Henry has played TAMU's but his avg defenses are not as bad. Again I don't think Henry is better but he's not a whole lot worse. But LF is also not to the level of a Hershel Walker, McFadden, or Adrian Petterson like some of you are acting like he is.

Again no matter what statistic you try to use to validate your argument will help you sell it to the world or the NFL.

Wow pretty damning statistics

Henry is far superior in conference and in big games


If having a lower yards per carry and yards after contact impress you.. then sure. His yards/game comes at the expense of more total carries

And as stated earlier, it's not like Henry is running behind the clear cut SEC best offensive line either.

No matter what you say or do will help you sell it....Leonard fournettes performance against Bama is not indicative of his talent morse so it is indicative of Bama's front 7 talent.

The rest of college football knows this get over it.

and Henry had 32 carries against Texas A&M who is giving up, on average, more than 200 yards rushing per game.

facts are that LF7 was on track for one of the best single seasons in CFB history. he's played one less game than the most of the country and got held to 30 yards rushing against Alabama.. and is still 100+ yards ahead of his closest competition

A bunch of them were on here before the game saying how their OL was the best in the SEC and one of the best in the nation and how Harris was so good. Now they're all saying the only reason he sucked Sat. night was because Harris and the OL aren't good.

LSU fans would cut off their own dicks to protect LF7's Heisman race.

No doubt LF is an extremely great RB. One of the best in the nation.


Just not quite as good as DH is showing to be so far this season.

They should be excited about their dominating performance and not some used car salesman pitch to prove their big back is better than fournette.

Henry couldn't out run DEs, he got caught from behind 9 times

Only because of the difference in the amount of carries. LF'S ypc in conf play is far superior

i know this is hard for a pleb like yourself to comprehend.. but for example..

LSU could have the best OL in college football while the Bama DL is historically good and quite capable of shutting them down.

Both can happen. LSUs OL is not that good, though.

not as fragile as our RG and RT

the amount of stat twisting bama fans are doing to play out the Henry > LF7 troll narrative speaks for itself

there isn't a single intelligent Alabama fan that would decline a straight up trade between the two players

None of this would be happening if LF7 or your Oline could figure out how to run block a simple 5-2.

It looked like they went backwards on every single play like they were pass protecting.

Except FACTS prove you wrong.

Henry has 3 games of less than 100 yards.
LF has 1 game of less than 150 yards.
Henry has 3 games of a ypc over 5.5
LF has 7 games of a ypc over 5. 5.

Henry has 4 games of a ypc less than 5.5
LF has 1 game of a ypc less than 5.5.


The only people that think Henry is a better rb than LF is gumps.
