Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 16.8% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 11.0% of his carries. 8 carries for 14 yds vs Fresno State; 24 for 148 vs Nevada.
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
46.2% of carries overall (172/372) → 42.9% of Q4-with-lead carries (18/42) — 100.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
