Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.9% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 19.8% of his carries. 7 carries for 11 yds vs Miami (OH); 13 for 76 vs Sacramento State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
