Derrick Henry and espn


Dec 8, 2015, 8:56 PM

After all the "he broke walker's sec rushing record. You have to give him the heisman" crap ESPN has been spewing I got curious. Walkers single season rushing record ranks 42nd all time. In fact when you look at the list, it's not all mind blowing like they want you to believe. He beat deangelo Williams by 20 yards.

I think they meant the SEC record.

I guess it doesn't say much that the SEC rushing record is the 42nd best ever, but there you have it. Definitely not a solid foundation for a Heisman argument.

Edit - Nevermind. You already covered the SEC angle.

How does Henry's YPC stack up against Gallman's?!

I looked the other day, it's VERY close, Henry by a hair if I remember correctly

Compare it to Dalvin Cook's, about 2 ypc less than Cook!***

Did he break that record over the same number of games?

He did it fewer carries than walker but compare him to Andre Williams who was never mentioned. Williams had 2177 for Boston college.

ESPN never lets the facts get in the way of a good bias.


Dec 8, 2015, 11:44 PM

The fact is that Derrick Henry played 2 more full games than Hershel Walker.

That sorta takes the chrome off the trailer hitch. One of many facts ESPN chooses to ignore.


Watson for Heisman. ESPN for outhouse paper.
