yards per game: 162.8
broken tackles: 77
rushing grade: +30.3 (not sure how that one is made up)

I'm not sure how many official broken tackles he had against TT to add to that mark.

I also believe he led the SEC in all purpose yards....although Henry could surpass him. Fournette edged out Cooper for that mark last year as well, if I remember correctly. If it holds, LSU would have held the SEC's all purpose leader 3 years in a row.

Henry has two more games and Fournette is STILL ahead of him! It will take THREE games for Henry to pass Fournette in all-purpose yards. Fournette should've been in New York!

Can't disappear and look helpless in the biggest game of the year that everyone is watching.


Call it fair or unfair but it's just the way it is

The fact that he wasn't there shows how big of a joke the Heisman is. I'm not saying it's a sham Henry won, but he was probably the 4th or 5th most deserving player imo.

THIS!
After the Texas Bowl (so one less total game than Henry)
Fournette had 123 more total yards.
Same amount of Touchdowns.
9 games with 150 rushing yards or more compared to Henry who only had 5.
And only 2 games under 100 compared to Henry who had 4.
I believe it was 30 less touches than Henry. (So not just 1 game, but one BIG game).

Fournette was the better back and would have obviously won the Heisman had LSU had that "1" in the L column at the end of the year.

It's a total hype award now. Fournette had all of it then lost it.

It's the way the voting is done ... the basis for how many they invite.
