Quote:Missed the Bama game this past weekend.  In looking at the stats I just noticed the following:

 

TJ Yeldon - 20 carries 123 yards - avg. 6.2 YPC.

 

Derrick Henry - 17 carries for 37 yards - avg. 2.2 YPC

 

That's an unusual discrepancy between the 2 backs who have very similar stats this year (5.3 PYC and 5.1 YPC).  Any reason for the difference?  Did Bama utilize Henry between the tackles and Yeldon on the outside?  Just curious -- Henry looked unstoppable a week ago.

 

Not a big fan of Bama but I'm sure Saban will fix it in the future.  Thanks !!
 

yeldon is a complete back and henry is really limited in his skill set. as a defense, you pretty much know what henry is going to do when he is in the backfield. bama isnt running him on stretch plays or to the outside like we keep doing with gerhart....

 

so its easy to key in on henry and shut him down.
Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."
