Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Corey Taylor II
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Fifth year in the same backfield at Tulsa. On tape: 132 rushing yards against Tulane, Week 12, 2020.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 23.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.3% of his carries. 3 carries for 1 yds vs Oklahoma State; 19 for 132 vs Tulane.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
