Title: Derek Henry's TD Run......
Post by: McBaman on October 20, 2013, 09:45:19 AM
.... may turn out to be the longest of his Bama career!  Very long strides going down the sideline, about 2.5 yds per step.  Doesn't look fast but he was covering a lot of ground in a hurry.

someone said last night they clocked his last 40 yards at
just over 4 seconds

not bad for a BIG fellow if it's accurate

They said during the game that was our longest TD this year. He looked pretty fast to me. Once he got to the corner he was gone.

Don't know how fast he is but he looked llike he was pulling away from the Arky DBs.

Did you see the replay from a vantage point showing coach moving toward the endzone with arms out, in a "what are you doing!?!" gesture? I think the call was to run between the tackles so as not to score. Whoops! Greatness happen, coach. There are worse problems to have.

it was obvious CNS was not happy as he galloped to the promise land
I couldn't help but laugh and say "it's style points Coach , style points" !

That's one time I did not mind seeing CNS unhappy. It was worth it to see King Henry outrunning the entire Arky "D"! That's the stuff where legends begin.

I think Bielema knows that CNS does not purposely run up the score, so no harm, no foul. I, however, enjoyed the heck out of that run!  :popcorn2:

Missed it live because I was making coffee  >:(

Just saw the video though, and I agree that it doesn't look like he's actually running very fast.  It's probably worth a scolding from CNS to have that as your first Bama TD.  :lol2:

Coach Saban understands the players he puts in are going to play hard.  If they don't they won't be in there next time.  In all honesty CS didn't expect the zone play to break for 80.

You're right coach. I think he was as surprised as anyone.

I feel like I saw something completely different than some of you.  When that big man turned the corner, and then pulled away from the DB's, I thought "dang, I didn't know he had that kind of speed for such a big back".

Saban has seen the kid run before in practice.  He wanted the rest of us to wait until next year!   :clap: :lol2: :clap:
