Josh Quezada
Wins in space out of the backfield. A game that shows it: 119 rushing yards and 58 receiving yards against Nevada — Week 13, 2014.
Play style
Deployed as a receiver as much as a runner. Value is in space, not between the tackles.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 20.6% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 20.1% of his carries. 3 carries for -4 yds vs Utah; 24 for 119 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
26.0% of carries overall (134/516) → 36.2% of Q4-with-lead carries (25/69) — 68.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
