The junior pounded Texas A&M’s defense for 236 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries.

Henry averaged 7.4 yards per tot, and scored his touchdowns on runs of 55 and six yards. His 236 rushing yards against the Aggies was good for fifth in Alabama history in a single game. Henry’s streak of consecutive games with a rushing touchdown extends to 12 after last week.
