At least someone asked Coach Saban.
But the answer was vague.
Then ....

Quote

Saban brought up Henry unprompted during his answer Tuesday.

"The guy that really has come on really in this bowl practice like a lot of our freshmen have is Derrick Henry," he said. "He's played phenomenally well in this bowl practice.

I understand sitting him if security truly was an issue. Does anyone know how many fumbles TJ had last year? I know he fumbled the ball away in the aTm game that kept Bama from scoring. Not sure about others though...

The article linked above says both Yeldon and Drake had 3 fumbles.

Speculation is that Drake has doghouse problems.

Yeah, but I took that to mean that they lost three fumbles this season. Was wondering how many TJ had in 2012.

I can not find stats that show individual fumble numbers. I have found team stats.

This year in 12 games we have had 11 fumbles and lost 7 of them. That is very low number of fumbles. Our opponents have fumbled 19 times and lost 8.

Last year in 14 games we fumbled 24 times and lost 12. Our opponents fumbled 24 times and lost 11.
