On October 19, against Arkansas, he had 111 rushing yards and his first collegiate rushing touchdown in the 52–0 victory.
On November 23, against Chattanooga, he had six carries for 66 yards and his second rushing touchdown of the season.
During the 2014 Sugar Bowl, he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on eight carries and had a 61-yard touchdown reception in the 45–31 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.

The nickname became a popular internet meme.
