Play style
Cuts upfield fast. Designed to find the crease, not run through the line.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 13.8% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 13.6% of his carries. 11 carries for 49 yds vs Wyoming; 33 for 262 vs Mississippi State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
Not actually a closer
51.2% of carries overall (285/557) → 31.2% of Q4-with-lead carries (35/112) — 97.1% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
