Thanks Loomis.....
Do I think Henry is the best player in the country...no I do not.
Heisman is about hype and "latest" hype. Henry has been a great back for Bama and has put up
the numbers to prove it especially late in the season.
Guess I would ask the question: Is Henry a better RB than Fournette? Guessing most NFL guys would say no.
Hype favors Henry....at least today.
