CJ Marable
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. CJ Marable has been at Coastal Carolina through two head coaches in three seasons. In 2020 he earned his first career honor: All-Sun Belt. One game to point at: 157 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD against Texas State — Week 13, 2020.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 23.9% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 23.2% of his carries. 19 carries for 15 yds vs Georgia Southern; 16 for 157 vs Texas State.
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
33.7% of carries overall (166/493) → 15.8% of Q4-with-lead carries (18/114) — 94.4% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.

Who gets the tough yard
