The superstar running back put up impressive numbers in Bama's lone loss of the season, but the Rebs' sure-tackling defense and high-scoring offense combined to limit his impact.
Slowing down Derrick Henry is a relative concept. The Alabama running back won the Heisman Trophy over the weekend for the precise reason that no defense was able to bottle him up this season. So how did Ole Miss, the only team to take down the Tide so far, hold up against him?
On the surface, it doesn't appear that the Rebels were particularly successful: Henry ran for 127 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries and his per-carry average was middle of the road as compared to other opponents.
