I thought Bama was a recruiting machine. You would think they would have another back or two that could spell Henry.


Well...let's see. Going into the season the depth chart looked like this.

Derrick Henry (JR) 5-star
Kenyan Drake (SR) 4-star
Bo Scarborough (FR) 5-star
Damien Harris (FR) 5-star

The bottom two were true freshmen and Scarborough missed most of the year due to a knee injury he sustained during spring training. Kenyan Drake has been struggling with injuries all year and Harris is still learning how to block. Saban doesn't play RBs who haven't learned blocking schemes yet.

Henry, therefore, became our only viable option down the stretch.

Fournette has the same amount of touches per game as Henry and will leave LSU with at least 200 more carries than DH. You're an idiot.

Henry is holding a handful of prestigious awards and on the verge on the Heisman.

What's Les done for Buga?

who was there to take the secondary carries?



screw DH and his future since we don't have a capable backup. Whose fault is that? I know Bama has other RB's on their roster beside Drake

You should be fired for starting this terrible thread while you are supposed to be flipping burgers. They aren't paying you to fool around on the interwebz.

Whatever it takes. As long as Bama fans can hit their local Walmart and get that picture with the championship trophy

When LF had 31 carries against Florida the media was calling for him to sit out his junior year to protect himself from injury. When DH had 38, 46 and 44 carries against LSU, Auburn and Florida they fawned over how he carried the team on his back.



I love that L5U victim mentality, everybody hates them.

Fournette will finish his career with FAR more carries and total touchs than Henry will. DH had 36 tocuhes his Fr. year and 178 last year.

He's averaged fewer carries per game than Herschel did.

Saban should catch shite for not letting him get 14 more yards to break 2000.
