🏈 Derrick Henry...only stopped for a loss 1 time in 46 attempts

[Snout Spout]

Notice all his slipping came in the first half. I bet there was something nefarious going on with the Barn's turf. Then again, Chris Stewart reported that the grass is thin in a lot of places, which lead to Henry slipping a couple of times. 2nd half, the team seemed to have plenty of traction. I'd bet the equipment guys changed out the cleats at halftime.

Alabama players explain impact of slippery field in Iron Bowl win

Bama players talking about how slippery it was. They either soaked it excessively or applied something slippery to limit Henry, etc's big play yardage.

Intradasting ...

You even had the ref slip on our sideline as he was throwing the flag on the late hit on Coker.

And the best part was the gratuitous touchdown at the end.... you could hear the stadium just bitch & moan.

It is just simply cow manure processed by their cow tech school.

I find it strange they would do something like that... since their only game all year has been the run. Why would they shoot themselves in the foot in the only area they performed all year long. It's not like they tried to air it out in the first half... they ran the ball on almost every down, so slicking the field would hurt them as much if not more than us.

That was the cherry on top of that W. I only wish we could've run up the score more.

Werethose not regular season records for touchdowns, or was it entire season?

The record books for UA, and those I've seen for the SEC, don't separate regular season and post season. It's all "one season/year." I can't say I've seen NCAA stat sites separate the two.

I got to thinking about this when I was out biking a little this morning and it dawned on me that sports-reference.com does separate bowl appearances. Without actually going and looking, I want to say they started separating them a few years ago (a lot due to conferences playing championship games and bowl games.)

Walker's numbers in 1981 probably don't include their bowl game. Then again, Walker's numbers in '81 also had UGA playing 11 regular season games and only two of their opponents had winning records.

IIRC, McFadden is in second place for his numbers in 2007 which include bowl games.

You may be right about Walker's number because it stop at the end of the regular season. He would had 11 regular games and one bowl game and the bowl game would count toward his yards or TD's count. Can't remember when the NCAA starter counting bowl game, and now we have the championship game. But we also can have 12 regular games too.

It's worth noting is that while Walker got the record in less games, he had nearly 100 more carries than Henry does at this point. Henry is exactly 94 yards behind on 90 less carries right now. If he hadn't been sat for the OOC cupcakes he'd have the record by now. Its also probable that Fournette would have it too if LSU played the McNeese game, especially considering LSU tended to let their OOC opponents hang on in the game longer than expected more.

There are bowl records, but the season records don't separate regular season from post season and don't consider 10-game, 11-game or 12-game regular seasons.

I just check the leader board: Henry should become the leading scoring in the SECCG this weekend. He need one to tie and two to be the leader. jeremy McNichals RB Boise St. has 23, 18 rushing and 5 rec. 23 total TD in scoring.
