Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Travon McMillian

Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 28.5% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 23.4% of his carries. 8 carries for 25 yds vs Nebraska; 15 for 162 vs New Hampshire.
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
48.3% of carries overall (199/412) → 38.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (27/71) — 88.9% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.

Who gets the tough yard
