TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – When the going got tough for No. 8 Alabama against Tennessee on Saturday afternoon, Crimson Tide tailback Derrick Henry got going.

Henry rushed 10 times for 57 yards in the fourth quarter, including a 14-yard touchdown with 2:24 remaining that capped the scoring in the Tide’s 19-14 win. The 6-foot-3, 242-pound junior finished with 28 carries for 143 yards.

“I’m a leader on this team, and my mentality was that we’ve got to score and get this win,” Henry said. “Tennessee is a great team and a great opponent, and it’s a big rivalry. When we got down, we knew we had to stay focused and get that touchdown like we did.”

Henry’s 143-yard performance gives him 1,044 yards through eight games. He is Alabama’s seventh 1,000-yard rusher in the last eight years, having just missed out last season with 990.
