Moe Neal
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Fourth year in the Syracuse backfield. On tape: 163 rushing yards and 2 receptions against Louisville, Week 13, 2019.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
38.1% of carries overall (169/443) → 34.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (16/47) — 68.8% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
