The 2025 FBS Running Back Poised to Eclipse Ashton Jeanty’s Legacy — Who Will It Be?
While carrying the ball 74 times for 455 yards a redshirt freshman, Bishop averaged a tick under 4.0 yards per carry on run disruptions – the classification of carries on which a defender penetrates a gap at the point of attack – way above the national average of 2.6 yards and even Sampson at 3.3. Bishop had nearly identical yards-after-contact figures as Sampson (2.4 for the backup, 2.3 for the starter) and managed to average 4.0 yards before contact compared to Sampson’s 3.6.
That could just be noise or it could be offensive line-driven. But it also could be indicator that Bishop was better at getting downhill quickly as he generated 0.21 missed or broken tackles per touch compared to 0.19 for Sampson.
