Alabama Football Two Touchdown Favorite Over Auburn

While rushing for the third-most yards in a game in Alabama history, behind only Shawn Alexander’s 291 in 1996 and Bobby Humphrey’s 284 in 1986, Henry did so with a school-record 46 carries – topping the previous high of 42 by Johnny Musso in 1970.

“He was not asking to come out”. “Ever since the Ole Miss game theyve had their backs against the wall and responded every possible way that you could ask them to.”. Because we’ll put somebody else in there’.

“As I was running, I was like, ‘Man, no way, ‘” Smith said.

Lashlee said he was “extremely proud” of quarterback Jeremy Johnson, who teamed with Jason Smith for a 77-yard touchdown pass that was the play of the game for Auburn. But few of them actually pull it off.

FRESH LONGHORN: Texas running back Chris Warren III had only 18 carries for 88 yards on the season before being pressed into action because of injuries in a 48-45 loss to Texas Tech. I’m not a run-and-play-defense guy. A steep hole from which to climb against one of the country’s best defenses. “He’s like a machine”. “This was our last regular-season game and we will get a plan and get better. I don’t think we did a good enough job, obviously, because he had 280 yards or whatever it was”.

Offensively, take away Henry and Alabama struggles.

It shouldn’t be a shock to college football fans that Alabama are heavily favored to win the SEC Championship Game.

“He said, ‘Yes we do, Coach”.

Miles said Alleva and the school president told him after the game that they wanted him to continue as coach.

Much has changed since McElwain called plays for Alabama. Kenyan Drake broke a bone in his right arm against Mississippi State and couldn’t play Saturday.

The first half of the 2015 Iron Bowl was everything anyone expects from a clash of SEC rivals. Henry finished the game with 271 rushing yards, putting him at 1,796 yards on the season. No other two SEC teams have played in the championship game more than three times.

On first down midway through the second quarter, Henry ran the ball down to Auburn’s 1-yard line. “A 6’3” 240-pound joy, unless you’re an Auburn defensive back.

Inconsistent quarterback play definitely hurt Auburn, but the ultimate blame falls on Malzahn. They weren’t the only ones. Watson, though, followed series with a 60-yard scoring drive that he ended with a 3-yard burst around the left side.

Auburn had 260 total yards, 169 of which came through the air. But by the time the Tigers got the ball back, they had only 2:49 and one timeout to work with. Saban is a coaching genius, but handing the ball to Derrick Henry over and over is a strategy people a lot less bright than Saban might easily devise.

LSU 19, Texas A&M 7 • Leonard Fournette ran for 159 yards and a touchdown to help host Louisiana State win in what some thought might have been Les Miles’ final contest with the team. Coach Nick Saban even said it reminded him of the “kick six” against his team and the tipped pass the Tigers had in their win over Georgia the week before that 2013 win over his team.

The big win of the day Saturday in the SEC came at Auburn where Alabama defeated the Tigers 29-13 to clinch the West Division and stay on track for one of the four berths in the second College Football Playoff. He may not have a lot of versatility on the field – he has only 10 receptions this season – but when it comes to Heisman criteria, Henry’s an all-purpose candidate.
