    Wow. That Woodhead comparison came way quicker than I thought.

    But how many people voted BEFORE that game?

    Heard earlier Henry is 55th in nation in ypc. He's a horse and has had a good year but ... Not that special

    Scouting notes
    McCaffrey: Very coachable. Heady. Great bloodlines. Smart. Moves well in space. Knows how to use body. Gritty.

    Henry: Just a brute. Strong. Fast. Thick thighs. Thick Chest. Skinny ankles. Tough. A fighter. Grinder.

    OK it was special but more a product of being the only option. You're going to rack up a lot of yards if you get 45 carries a game.

    The number of backs who can carry that sort of load and continue to be effective is miniscule. That's where the "special" comes in.

    You seem to have a really good grasp on this.

    There's a reason he was getting 45 carries a game. And it's not because Alabama can't recruit more than one good RB at a time.

    Do a large number of voters do that, before the conference title games? Seems dumb.

    Yeah, pretty much exactly the read I have on both of them.

    I know that before the Stiff Arm Trophy was rendered obsolete by the threat of voters losing their ballot, there were a lot of ballots disclosed prior to the title games.

    I don't think it's a large number, but some do.

    Well, sure. It was partly because he is really good. It also is because Kenyan Drake was hurt most of the year.

    I don't even know what you're trying to say anymore. That Henry isn't deserving of winning (or being a finalist for) the Heisman?
