Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.7% of the season's rushing yards came on the 5 best carries — remarkably even — and the back is stuffed on 11.6% of carries. 5 carries for 15 yds vs Central Michigan; 36 for 287 vs Florida.
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
52.0% of carries overall (206/396) → 42.9% of Q4-with-lead carries (18/42) — 83.3% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
