STILLWATER — Against teams that aren’t McNeese, Chuba Hubbard has averaged 29 carries a game this season.
Carrying the ball only eight times against the other Cowboys brings his actual per game total to 22 carries. His 66 carries this year is the fourth most in the country.
Giving Hubbard the rock has undoubtedly worked well, as he leads the country in rushing with 521 yards. Hubbard is also tied for the lead in rushing touchdowns with SMU’s Xavier Jones at seven. Ole Miss’ Scottie Phillips, who leads the country with 71 carries, has 308 rushing yards and four touchdowns for reference.
