It's a numbers game partially as he only had 20% of Mixon's touches and specifically only 23 touches came after we changed our blocking scheme. The same blocking scheme change that took Mixon from 3.2 YPC (Hey funny that's what Gio averaged) to his 4.1 average he ended with. Gio averaged 3.9 yards a carry down the back stretch under the new scheme so he saw improvement as well with the changes.
