Demario Richard
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. He has spent four seasons in the Arizona State backfield. One game to point at: 189 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD against Colorado — Week 10, 2017.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.0% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.1% of his carries. 1 carry for -4 yds vs New Mexico State; 25 for 189 vs Colorado.
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
37.9% of carries overall (198/522) → 33.8% of Q4-with-lead carries (22/65) — 90.9% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
