🏈 Henry's place in the record books: UA, SEC, and NCAA

[TerryP]

How sure are we of his Heisman odds now? Him having a big game was huge but McCaffery went off and got huge media attention last night because of it. He's being heralded all over social media as well. What are the chances he pulls the rug out from under Henry at the last second?

I wanted to ask a few people I know about this before making a comment.

I know several around here that have Heisman votes. All of them, sans one, had already submitted their ballot before the games last weekend. One of them even using "snail mail." This is the case with a large number of the "Heisman collective."

As of today, the current odds:

Elliot 12-1
McCaffery 5-1
Watson 9-2
Henry 1-7

HUGE lead, still.

Christian has some really impressive numbers...but it's not like those teams have good rushing defenses.

I was told that the Heisman is a season award. You can't go and see what the players did the others years he played. The reason I'm saying this is that when our #10 was up for it, I post about his all-stat. Someone told me it was a season award. It wasn't someone here either. Anyway I hope him the best. @TerryP you need to do a feed for the Heisman Award for us/me than don't have cable/satellite.

20 for 58 against #100 rushing defense UCF REALLY jumps out at you.

 

[TerryP]

FWIW, according to what I recall, DH needs a little over 200 yards rushing to place himself at the top of the all-time rushing list.

 

[rick4bama]

Did any of you read about the guy trying to get the NCaa to go back to include bowl games for all games. Sorry I saw it on FB I wasn't home and I still have trouble sharing it over the phone. I can't remember which sports news it came from. Sorry I was hoping one one you guys read it. I just think it another thing to keep Henry from being the first to break the 2000 rushing mark.

 

[TerryP]

I didn't realize this ... prolly just missed it.

You know @TerryP I did read this, but it's just when right over my head. As many great running back that has been in college games you would have thought someone would have done this before?
