He would have still had KB as his QB.

Sometimes I wonder if the 2015 National Championship game would’ve played out differently if Cain wasn’t suspended

I remember Henry having the one big touchdown run, but I thought we contained him for the most part. I could be wrong though.

It was their TE (OJ Howard) I think who we had the trouble containing.

I'll give you two other stats that mattered WAAAAAY more than having an answer for Derrick Henry...

1) OJ Howard - 208 yards receiving for 2 TDs

2) Kenyan Drake - 1 KR TD

We managed to keep Henry checked outside of some runs here and there. Yep, dude still ate (3 TDs and over 150 yards rushing on 36 carries) but sometimes it's just making sure he doesn't take over the game.

OJ Howard IMO was the biggest reason for the Tide pulling it out. Dude ripped off big gains left and right. Felt like madness watching the D defend him.
