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 20.4% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 21.7% of his carries. 13 carries for 35 yds vs Middle Tennessee; 21 for 188 vs Western Kentucky.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
46.9% of carries overall (210/448) → 40.3% of Q4-with-lead carries (27/67) — 70.4% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
