Does a little of everything without one standout trait. On tape: 177 rushing yards and 18 receiving yards against Michigan, Week 9, 2014.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 13.4% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 12.3% of his carries. 13 carries for 57 yds vs Jacksonville State; 35 for 177 vs Michigan.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share

47.6% of carries overall (273/573) → 31.3% of Q4-with-lead carries (42/134) — 28.6% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
