Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Jacques Patrick
Just keeps getting the ball, series after series. Played for three head coaches in four seasons at Florida State. A game that shows it: 56 rushing yards and 17 receiving yards against Northern Illinois — Week 4, 2018.
Play style
Built to take 20+ carries per game. Volume is the value.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 20.5% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 23.4% of his carries. 3 carries for 10 yds vs Syracuse; 16 for 56 vs Northern Illinois.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
