Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 25.9% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.5% of his carries. 12 carries for 30 yds vs Coastal Carolina; 30 for 189 vs LSU.
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
40.8% of carries overall (149/365) → 28.7% of Q4-with-lead carries (25/87) — 88.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
