You are using a lot of exceptions in your arguments.



You consider one less game making exceptions?

And you do realize the 49 carries is what put Henry over Fournette in total yards, with one less game for Fournette.

I don't know how you can overlook those. Yes, Henry had a great season but his season wasn't any more "great" than McCaffrey's or Fournettes, who have more total yards from scrimmage.

Now, are you going to make exceptions for receptions?

This isn't even worth my time to type out a response on my phone to everything you just posted. You're entitled to you incorrect opinion.

Disagree. Henry had monster games in every single big, prime-time game he played this year.
The same cannot be said for Mccaffrey or Fournette.

Can you show the variation between winners of the past and winners today?

Henry will get the Bama bump that Gordon didn't have and win the Heisman. Also, this is a down year for QB's.

Right now it's a two man battle between Watson and Henry.

I have a hard time seeing the Heisman going to a running back who rushed 20 times for just 58 yards and zero rushing TDs against a UCF team that is currently ranked 102nd against the run

The same people arguing against Henry are the same idiots who wanted that dude from Stanford to win over Ingram. I'll kiss your arse if one of these guys can pull up a post saying "Ingram has the better ypc so he should win."

shite is getting real and everyone is freaking out. For weeks now we've had good Heisman talk. Most everyone in these threads have been giving Henry some love. Dude has run for 200+ in 4 of his last 5 P5 games and now he doesn't deserve the award at all. Alabama fatigue must be tough.

If only Les Miles would have let Fournette play on offense in the 4th quarter vs Auburn.

It is a joke because the only reason Fournette who is in the same division is not favored over Henry is because he played the Bama rush defense with Les Miles dictating the tailback dive up the middle every play. Fournette still has more total yards in one less game. Basically two less games if you don't hold the Les Miles bull shite from the Alabama game against him which was clear to anyone watching the game.

So obviously Cook and Fournette is supported with statistical reasons outside of just the "eye test"; however, Henry will get it because he is on the team going to the playoffs.

I ain't saying Henry isn't good it is just ridiculous we are comparing RBs and I think the Alabama name and team accomplishments are caring him over other RBs.

Henry has outperformed Fournette in basically every game vs common opponents.

And Henry doesn't have the stats

Y'all are so hilariously biased it is ridiculous.

Fournette had a bad game in LSU's biggest game of the season. That is why he is out of it.

Fournette is the better RB, with that said I have no
Problem with it going to Henry. He is very much deserving.

I hate what the Heisman has become. It has become the "best player on the best team award"


As opposed to "the best player from Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame or USC" award?

Against Bama. The guy has tied Herschel and Bo with 200+ yd games in the SEC, just broke Bo's Iron Bowl record, broken basically every Bama single season rushing record, and will likely break Herschel's SEC rushing record, but y'all are some how confused on why he is being portrayed as the frontrunner.

That isn't any sort of boom because it left out a certain Bama/LSU game
