Jeremiyah Love — Week 4: Fourteen Carries, Sixty-Three Yards

Nothing to nothing, 13 15 left in the first quarter, second and four at the Giants 39. Jeremiyah Love went around left end for 16 yards to the 23 against the Giants. +1.3 expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — and 5.6 points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it, his best run of the day. He ran for nine on the next snap and two more on second and one, and on the snap after that Marvin Harrison caught the opening touchdown.

The line: 14 carries, 63 yards, no touchdown, three first downs, seven of the 14 successful, −0.3 expected points on the carries; one catch, −8 yards on third and 18 before halftime. The carries went nothing, 16, nine, two, eight, eight, nothing, five, three, one, five, four, four and −2. Six of them came in the first quarter. In the fourth he had one carry, the −2, on first down after Arizona recovered a Giants fumble. A six-yard run late in the third came back on a holding call.

The split: Love 14 carries, Tyler Allgeier eight, Jacoby Brissett four.

Back in June the preview made no call on Love and said to watch the split, under a head coach who said he wanted a rotation. Week 3 was 21 carries to two; Sunday went back toward the rotation, 14 to eight, and Allgeier scored the rushing touchdown. Four games: 55 carries, 223 yards, one rushing touchdown, 11 catches.
