Share of the team's total this season.
Each line is one carry: taller means more yards, and a line pointing down lost yards. Black lines are touchdowns. The play text only says left, middle or right, so inside each lane the carries are lined up shortest to longest, not placed. Of the carries with a spot in the play text: left 7, middle 68, right 18. The longest went for 33 yards.

Play style
Does a little of everything without one standout trait.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 20.2% of the season's rushing yards came on the 5 best carries — remarkably even — and the back is stuffed on 6.6% of carries. 9 carries for 18 yds vs Navy; 13 for 100 vs Northern Illinois.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
