Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.1% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 19.8% of his carries. 9 carries for 34 yds vs Old Dominion; 26 for 211 vs UAB.
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
39.0% of carries overall (184/472) → 24.6% of Q4-with-lead carries (17/69) — 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.
