Why hasn't Leo done this if it's so easy?
Two less games and his coach doesn't run him into the ground

He'll finish his career with 300 more carries than Henry.

Derek Henry is relevant on the national stage?

I guess you haven't seen highlights from Mr. Guice then have you?
Look to all the Gumps who think Henry's season is some all-time great accomplishment, Fournette had a 31 yard game and would still have beaten Henry's yard mark if he played McNeese State.
I just don't think the country as a whole is mesmerized by this kid when his coach runs him for the 40th time with 26 seconds left in a game that's over.
Everyone saying he makes the team just casually forgets the guy has one of the best run blocking lines in the country. Plus, it's not like the guy leads his team in rushing and receiving. That would be crazy... Maybe not so much for McCaffery

Alabama is able to continually recruits freaks at RB (6'3 230 lb type guys) who then are handed the ball close to 30 times a game and run behind one of the best offensive lines in college football. Not to mention in a Lane Kiffen offense with the offensive talent they can recruit at WR they are able to keep a relatively balanced offense. Henry is both a beast and a product of his system and it is no surprise that Bama rb's continued to get invited to NY when they are in the championship race every year.
The better question is why does it seem like McCaffery has very little chance to win the award when he does far more for his team with less?

Honest answer to your question? Because he plays at 10:00 PM to half the audience that Henry does. He'll still be a solid to very close 2nd, IMO.

Late to the party...this thread made me LOL.
A system running back in a pro-style offense...I've heard it all.

Who you do it against matters too. Look at who McCaffrey had his best games against compared to Henry. He had one great game all year against a top 25 defense (though to be fair he didn't receive anywhere near enough touches against Northwestern). The majority of his production came against the likes of Arizona, Oregon and Cal who are all terrible defensively.

It's funny how people think because they can say how something was done it has no meaning or value.
If it's so damn easy, then everyone would be doing it. It wouldn't be a 34 year old record getting broke.
As for Fournette - I'm betting these days he's thinking he picked the wrong team since he's going to face that Alabama defense every year of his career.

The one where Tony Brown almost broke him in half? Or the one where Nysewander knocked him out of Bryant-Denny? Are those the highlights you were referring to??? Be specific.

It's much easier to sell out to stop the run, especially if a team does not a strong enough passing attack to really punish you for doing so.
Also, rushing defenses in the SEC are more stout than passing defenses in the Big XII.

Not sure why Henry can carry 46 times and the freshman only once. They say that the freshman doesn't know how to block yet. Tell me how much blocking Henry did on those 46 carries. Give the freshman 5 carries and don't ask him to block.

How is it any more impressive to run the ball 200 yards on 45+ carries?

The difference is Henry did it and LF7 didn't.

you do realize that lf7 had a 30 yard run in the game against syracuse up 34-24 with 1:30 left in the game?

nah, he's got selective memory. If it fits his argument, he uses it. If it doesn't, it's discarded.
