Alabama RB Derrick Henry Joins Exclusive Club With Big Night Against Alabama [VIDEO]

The Alabama-LSU game featured two of the best running backs in college football Saturday night in Alabama's Derrick Henry and LSU's Leoanrd Fournette. Both players are powerful backs that are accustomed to having to carry their team. The one that would succeed in doing so would probably lead his team to victory.

Well--it certainly wasn't Fournette. The Alabama defense held him to just 31 yards on the night, but Henry went off. His night ended up being so good that he joined a club that includes just one other running back--Darren McFadden.

As it turns out, McFadden was the only running back prior to Henry to record three rushing touchdowns in a single game against a Les Miles defense at LSU. Henry's third (above) came late in the second quarter to put the Tide up 27-10.

The second came early in the same period to make the lead 19-10:
