 Henry is getting the attention because of the SEC.

Henry finished 2nd in the country in rushing yards and first in rushing Td's with 15 more than McCaffrey.  Please explain to me how he is only getting attention because of the SEC.....

 

 

The kid from Lamar actually led the country in rushing with 2092 yards in 11 games.  He finished with 106 more yards than Henry in 2 less games.  Great season for the young man.

Harrington should have gotten some mention similar to McNair back at Alcorn. As for Henry I did not know he finished 2nd. I purposely do not watch Alabama football. With those stats then I can understand and he should be there. I thought he was at maybe 1400 with 10 tds.

To me, the stats are not even close. McCaffrey is as good a runner, but adds receiving and special teams yards. 268 All Purpose Yards per Game. Good Gawd!

Kick returns are an easy way to pile up yards.  The players that lead that category usually play for bad teams with terrible defenses.  You don't see many running backs doing the returning mainly because of the beating they take the entire game. 

 

McCaffrey's problem is that half of the country hasn't seen him play much.  Those west coast games that end at 2am eastern are tough.

I saw Henry in several games but only saw McCafferty in one - but you look at the stats and I say that McCafferty should win - but from what I am reading Henry is the odds on favorite.

This is were the SEC reputation - real or imagined - is perhaps giving an unfair advantage to one player over another.

A question was asked today:

How would Henry do if he played for Stanford?

How would McCafferty do if he played for Alabama?

IMO McCafferty could play anywhere, in any offense.  Not so sure how Henry would do with Stanford's oline. 

How has any previous Bama running back fared in new offenses at the next level?

 

Thats all the answer I need to that question.

only ones that come to mind is Shaun Alexander and Mark Ingram that have fared well.

Forgot about Alexander..   But I am not saying Ingram has done all that great in my opinion. But other may feel different.

C'mon guys, your anti-Bama bias is showing! Yeldon did well intil he got hurt. Lacy was doing great until he missed curfew. The only real bust here is Richardson. 

Derrick Henry would be a success on any team, as well as McCafferty. Both of these guys play hard. I can't honestly knock either player at all. I still think the Heisman is A QB award, but we will find out soon enough.

I keep forgetting about Lacy, one more burger and he will be a defensive tackle
