Mark Weisman
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. One game to point at: 134 rushing yards against Illinois — Week 12, 2014.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.5% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 14.6% of his carries. 7 carries for 10 yds vs Tennessee; 23 for 134 vs Illinois.
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
43.9% of carries overall (211/481) → 37.8% of Q4-with-lead carries (31/82) — 93.5% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
