This is bad defense to be sure, but watch the little things McCaffrey does without even thinking. Whenever contact is near, the ball is in both hands tightly tucked away. He follows and sets up blocks better than any runner in the country, and once he breaks into the open field he understands the leverage of the players around him and how to get to the space available. McCaffrey did this all season long whether carrying the ball, running after the catch or even returning kicks. He was simply put the best and most reliable weapon in college football this year.

I agree.  His vision and ability to set up his blockers are second to none.

That's one of those things where you noticed it when watching him, but never noticed you noticed it until it was pointed out.  He has a way of moving around so he gives his blockers just enough time to set up the block for him, rather than getting impatient and trying to take on everything himself.  The blockers are great blockers too, but he is able to give them the setup to give him the setup.
