When the University of Alabama completed the 41-23 victory at Texas A&M on Saturday, everyone who had been at Kyle Field, from former President George H.W. Bush to Houston Astros rookie shortstop Carlos Correa, probably had the same opinion of running back Derrick Henry: I’m glad I don’t have to try to tackle him.
With 32 attempts for 236 yards Henry had a career game despite facing the No. 9 team on its home field and also scored more two touchdowns.
He’s now reached the end zone in 12 straight games, which is not only the longest active streak in the nation, but it's also an Alabama record (Terry Davis previously held, with 10 in 1971-72).
