Hits the crease and outruns the angle. A game that shows it: 171 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD against Mississippi State — Bowl, 2014.
Play style
Cuts upfield fast. Designed to find the crease, not run through the line.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 22.5% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 7.6% of his carries. 1 carry for 1 yds vs Duke; 21 for 171 vs Mississippi State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
