We got a preview of D Henry last night. He will be a beast next year.

Man that guy looks like the truth. The way he shrugged off those tackles like nothing, oh my god. I swear, feed this guy the ball next year. If we getting 6 yards per carry, you better feed this guy.

Little DBs chasing Big Red down the field remind me of the '73 Belmont.

Could not understand why we didn't run him more during the game.

He was the main bright spot from last night.

What struck out to me in this article is what Cyrus had to say about him.

Left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio said Henry is one of the younger players who could emerge as a future leader for the Tide.

"He does what he's suppose to do every time," Kouandjio said. "He's never late to anything. He's a good student, good athlete. He voices his opinion. That's a leader by showing it and by saying it. He's a perfect (fit to be leader)."

What struck out to me in this article is what Cyrus had to say about him.

In the last couple of weeks Henry mentioned how much of a growing/learning curve he has had to deal with since arriving on campus.

Loosely paraphrasing, "I had everything handed to me in high school and didn't realize how much work I'd have to put in at this level."

Next year with three 1000 yard backs would be a dream come true!

Just as a small hijack on the thread here...

Can anyone tell me the last team to have three RB's that accomplished this?

Wisky came close a few years ago under Bielema. One back was four yards shy of breaking 1000, two were over that number.
