The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 10 games, Seven Cloud's best came in week 7 against Central Arkansas and his quietest in week 5 against Chicago State.
Where he does his damage
