Just counting rushing yards short changes McCaffrey big time.



I agree, his impact is more than just rushing. However the purpose here was to just examine them as runners.

These stats do not comment on the O-Lines they are running behind. I think if DH and LF were swapped during the LSU/Bama game their stats would have been interchangeable as well. LF would have rumbled behind Bama's O Line and DH would have been smothered.



Maybe. Bama's OL isn't very good this year. They've been improving though.

When was this?



My bad, I fixed it. They instead faced South Carolina's 112th ranked Rush Defense, bringing LF's rush defense average DOWN to 57th.

I'm glad you have given Cook props. It sucks he is getting very little media love for the Heisman.

I will say that Henry has definitely impressed me over the backend of this season. He's ridiculously durable and a great player.

I feel awful for Fournette. This season has just been a disaster for LSU.

Now I'm trying to figure out why the upvote/downvote count is 2/5. I'm guessing it's either because I posted it or people are somehow mistaking this thread for a Henry fap thread, when it actually says Dalvin Cook > Derrick Henry.

I hate to say it but if Henry wins the Heisman I can't bitch. His numbers are impressive and his team is in playoff contention.

I fricking hate Les right now

Considering what LSU returns next year, I just can't imagine that offense doesn't put up 35+ points a game and 500+ yards a game. The skill positions are loaded and Harris will be back.

Would've been nice to see Fournette get 46 carries against Auburn instead of sitting out most of the second half. He had 19/228/3.

Considering what LSU returns at head coach next year, I just can't imagine that offense putting up 35+ points and 500+ yards a game even with the skill positions being loaded and Harris being back.

Something about all those college carries makes Bama bust RBs come to mind.
