Timothy McVey: RB · Air Force · #33.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Timothy McVey
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Third year in the same backfield at Air Force. One game to point at: 139 rushing yards and 7 receiving yards against Nevada — Week 8, 2017.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 18.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 9.4% of his carries. 7 carries for 27 yds vs Utah State; 18 for 139 vs Nevada.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.

Who gets the tough yard
