Derrick Henry Provides Tough Test for Mississippi State Defense

Is the MSU defense facing college football's Heisman front runner this week?

Alabama running back Derrick Henry finally burst out of the shadow that had hovered over him all season when it comes to talk of the best running back in college football.

After the LSU running back pounded his way to 200 or more yards in three of the first four games of the season, he became the most recognized player in the land and vaulted himself to the forefront of the Heisman Trophy race.

Derrick Henry started to pick up steam in that race as well, after monster games against Georgia, Texas A&M, and Tennessee.
