. Taking, from I saw, the majority of his carries as a wingback in 9 games Smith rushed 78 times for 818 yards and 11 TDs. This averages out to 10.5 YPC, or a first down every carry and a score every 7 carries. He also caught 12 passes for 195 yards and 1 score; he made 42 stops, 1 for a loss, 1 sack, 1 FR, 1 Int, and 11 PBU; and returned the ball 20 times for 684 yards and 2 TDs.
Smith’s game is simple, but special. He is adept at jump-cuts – they are definitely his favorite move. In fact, he likes them so much so that he often makes multiple jump-cuts on one carry. This ability smiply makes defenders look silly. He plays the game very much so like he is in a real-life video game. What I mean by this is that he weaves in and out of traffic as if he was in a game simulation. My advice to Smith is that if he wants to be a RB in college, he ought to adds clips of him as a tailback to his film.
Need a first down? Give it to Smith. Looking for a big play? Give it to Smith.
Simply put: Give. The. Ball. To. Smith.
