Boston Scott
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Fourth year in the Louisiana Tech backfield. On tape: 138 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD against UTSA, Week 13, 2017.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.3% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 18.0% of his carries. 8 carries for 17 yds vs South Carolina; 20 for 138 vs UTSA.
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
39.3% of carries overall (183/466) → 37.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (27/73) — 85.2% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
