I don't see how anyone who watched that game could penalize LF for that. He never had a chance in that game, and that was not his fault in any way, shape or form.

He could run for 250 or more when yall play A&M.

I thought Drake was a better player than Henry, but they didn't let Drake run it 40 times.

Fournette still has the easier path to the heisman.

The fact that we play the Texas A&M yell team last, is a huge boon for Leonard's chances. If he gets 250+ (potential last game of the season until bowl, so he can be fed the ball hard) then this nonsensical hype machine we call the media will have him right where he wants to be.

I don't see why anyone is surprised by this. It's become a "best player on best team award." Alabama is now considered the "best team" and Henry is considered their "best player". Ask Mark Ingram. He wasn't even the best player at his position the year he won the award. Yet, Alabama was the best team.

Even with his low rushing total, Fournette would still be the favorite if LSU had won the game. He could run for less than 100 yards in each of the last 3 games, but if LSU somehow wins the west (i.e. Bama loses again) he will win the trophy. Conversely, he could go for 150 in each of the final 3 games. But as long as Alabama is still the subjective "best" team. Henry would still be favored ahead of him.

Don't underestimate the laziness of the people who vote for this award.

Henry had 38 carries. Why isn't Saban being criticized for overworking him?

Now what kind of ratings would the award show and all the talking head shows generate if the award was decided? The two went head to head in the biggest game of the season thus far. All these talking heads have short memories. LF will be fine. It's just a more interesting race to the finish now.

Henry is getting the same treatment as Bama does ever year. Play like shite early in the year, and everyone forgets about it by the end of the season.
