As Alabama’s Bo Scarbrough broke Washington’s spirit with this 68-yard touchdown run, there’s only one thing I could think about.

Scarbrough’s Peach Bowl introduction looked a lot like that of a young Derrick Henry shredding Oklahoma in the 2013 season’s Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma.

Scarbrough’s Peach line: 19 carries for 184 yards, two touchdowns.

Henry’s Sugar line three years ago: eight for 100, one TD.

Bo Scarbrough gained 120 yards after contact, the most yards after contact for any Alabama player in the last 5 seasons per @ESPNStatsInfo — Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 1, 2017

Much like I did that night after New Year’s 2014, I similarly picked my jaw off the floor after watching Scarbrough run through and then away from defenders. The power is the obvious trait (I mean, look at the guy.) But there’s more there.

What should terrify us is the class of athlete Henry and Scarbrough embody. Scarborough’s listed vitals are 6’2 and 228 pounds. Henry’s while with the Tide were 6’3 and 241 in 2015. There is a violence to their styles, yes, but there is a relative smoothness to their acceleration and speed. I think Henry’s got a touch more top-end speed, but I wouldn’t want to try to chase either down as a defender.

During the Peach Bowl, real recognized real.

Even more than what they do on the field, the mental aspect of what Henry could do then and what Scarbrough could do now is important. Just like Henry wasn’t in that Sugar Bowl, Scarbrough is not Alabama’s main running back — yet. But he certainly looked ready to be the guy, and he’ll vacuum up offseason hype. Also, he did this so he should be halfway to the Hall of Fame in my opinion.

This semifinal Scarbrough performance, as well as whatever he does in the national title game, is just a teaser trailer for what’s next. He was fourth in carries on Bama’s roster this season coming into the game, but he has rushed more times in the last three games than Damien Harris, who started the year as Bama’s RB1, and who is still listed as such on the team’s depth chart.

But there’s another level to this

Even though it could be Scarbrough’s show next year as the feature running back, he’ll be in conjunction with QB Jalen Hurts and Harris. With Hurts’ skill set, Scarbrough won’t be asked to run the ball 30 times a game, which means Alabama has a true Ghidorah monster in its backfield.

Oh, and Bama’s slated to bring in the No. 1 recruit in the nation, Najee Harris, for next season. He’s a running back, too.
