That's the luxury of having multiple weapons at the skill positions. At the same stage as last year, Pugh entered this game with 41 less carries but almost the same number of yards. Mac and staff have done a great job this year spreading it around more, limiting the pounding he and the others have had to take, and made the offense a little harder to game plan against. Battaille's development at QB has played a large part in that success as well. The vertical game has to be respected with him under center, not just the screen game. I hate to just single him out because Dials did a good job too. It's been fun to watch this team grow this year.

And he is a huge threat running as well, adding another dimension. Averaging 16 yds a carry with 4 rushing TDs + whatever he got against Williamsburg. Looks like a veteran running the offense, very smooth. Just an excellent dual-threat weapon.
