Play style

Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 18.2% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 20.6% of his carries. 9 carries for 15 yds vs Tennessee; 27 for 140 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
37.9% of carries overall (189/499) → 43.5% of Q4-with-lead carries (47/108) — 85.1% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
