Title: Alabama RB Derrick Henry Locks Up Heisman in Record Breaking Night vs. Auburn Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 28, 2015, 10:09:36 PM Good article. Would love to see him go for 200 on Florida.
Quote Every time Derrick Henry came off the field in the fourth quarter Nick Saban was there to check on him. As carries mounted up, and started approaching previously unseen levels at the University of Alabama, the conversation kept repeating itself. “Are you good? Are you tired?” the coach kept asking. “I’m good,” was always the response. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2593907-alabama-rb-derrick-henry-locks-up-heisman-in-record-breaking-night-vs-auburn :clap: Title: Re: Alabama RB Derrick Henry Locks Up Heisman in Record Breaking Night vs. Auburn Post by: 2Stater on November 28, 2015, 10:17:18 PM I can't imagine any situation where King Henry doesn't win the Heisman. Clearly, the best and most consistent college football player this year. He is likely to have over 2000 yds rushing before all is said and done. What a great football player he is.
Title: Re: Alabama RB Derrick Henry Locks Up Heisman in Record Breaking Night vs. Auburn Post by: N.AL-Tider on November 28, 2015, 10:44:34 PM I just did some quick research and math and it looks like King Henry is now leading the nation in yards rushing AND TD's! I'm not gonna be convinced that he locked up the Heisman until he plays against the Gators next week... Regardless, I dare say he is THE BEST running back that has ever played for Bama...All in favor?

Kudos to DH, and I hope in a few weeks we will be able to add HTWDH to his initials. #+

No mention of Derrick Henry.

No mention of Derrick Henry. The College Football Final and Sunday shows all have Henry as a clear #1. Glad to hear that. The show I was watching was either the half-time or post game show of a late night game. So many games were on, I have gotten lost in the woods trying to remember which one. Title: Re: Alabama RB Derrick Henry Locks Up Heisman in Record Breaking Night vs. Auburn Post by: McBaman on November 29, 2015, 10:43:38 AM Did anyone see Florida/FSU game? Their D looked good, but offense was sad. Of course, RB D. Cook rushed for over 180 yards. Watched most of the 2nd half to see how FL was looking. MD has it right but I'd go further and say their O looked worse than sad. And they have no FG kicking; big advantage Bama on that. Pretty good D and our O will need to be more in sync than it was in IB. FL has been hit hard by injuries and if they get some guys back they could be better than they showed vs. FSU. Title: Alabama's greatest back, Derrick Henry, steamrolling his way to Heisman Trophy Post by: Catch Prothro on November 29, 2015, 11:17:22 AM Alabama's greatest back, Derrick Henry, steamrolling his way to Heisman Trophy
Quote Alabama has had great running backs under Nick Saban. Mark Ingram won the Heisman in 2009 after running for 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns. Derrick Henry is better. In 2011 Alabama won the BCS title with Trent Richardson running for a school-record 1,679 yards and 21 TDs (also a school record). Henry broke both those records Saturday against Auburn — and yes, he's better than Richardson. http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football-news/4662304-derrick-henry-heisman-winner-alabama-running-back-history-tj-yeldon-eddie-lacy-mark-ingram-trent-richardson Title: Re: Alabama RB Derrick Henry Locks Up Heisman in Record Breaking Night vs. Auburn Post by: ricky023 on November 29, 2015, 01:37:28 PM If there is anyway possible you know the Heisman club is going to keep an Alabama player from being the Winner. Mark did it because he was heads above anybody else. I keep thinking about Herschel Walker who had 50 carries one time, these guys have to be in great shape to take a pounding like that. RTR!
