Alabama's OL has been a sore spot all season. 50% more tackles for loss given up this season compared to OLs blocking in years past. 80 something this year vs 60 something in those years (actual stats not in front of me right now).
He has more rushing yards than anyone in the history of High School Football and in a season from the conference that produced Hershel, Bo, and Emmitt...he's special.
Bama v Mich St (Saban v his old school)Which would be?I have faith in the CFP to make choices based on ideal match ups.Much more likely to be 2/3Not counting any chickens, but an OU v UA champ game would be fantastic.So awesome, very unexpected makes it that much better. Plus I think they can beat anyone.
Clemson v Oklahoma (battle of QBs)
Barry Sanders record stood for over 25 years. Been a hell of a lot of great players in that span, none of them toppled his record. That's significant. I think Henry is outstanding. But McCaffrey was otherworldly this season.
the committee thought OU playing in the Cotton was too much of a home game.
I think the vote will be close. Wonder in the NFL failures of Richardson and now Lacy will enter the voter's minds. It shouldn't, but they are human.
They also didn't play a CCG, chief.
Herschel Walker's record stood for 34 years. Henry broke it with less carries.
Holy crap. I get not wanting folks running on the field but that's assault and he should be charged.
Henry never really passed the eye test for me but the numbers are hard to argue with. It's also worth noting that unlike every other one of those Bama RBs (Yeldon, Lacy, Ingram, Richardson) Henry has performed significantly better than the other RBs on the roster. All of those other guys, as the starter, had similar or worse (sometimes significantly worse) YPC than their backups. In several of those cases it was Kenyon Drake playing better as a backup, but he's been much worse than Henry this year.
Not sure how they go about deciding that but last year it was 2/3 in the afternoon and 1/4 at night - that was in spite of the 2/3 game being on the west coast.Nevermind. Just looked - Orange is at 4pm and Cotton is at 8pm.
Why the hell are these games on the 31st and not on the first? This screws up my plans!!!!!!
Cappy Other than getting Oklahoma & MSU reversed...
