ATLANTA — Derrick Henry put a cap on arguably the best season a running back has ever had in the Southeastern Conference, but that’s not what should scare the other teams that might make this season’s playoffs.
It’s that the University of Alabama football team was so much more than Henry on Saturday, as it pounded out a 29-15 victory in the SEC Championship Game.
The No. 2 Crimson Tide had contributions from every part of the team in the Georgia Dome—offense, defense and special teams. Together they showed that they’re still hungry, in addition to being the league’s first repeat champions since Tennessee (1997-98).
