The distribution shows that the team will lean on Harvey more against stronger opponents.

TD in back-to-back games Montgomery compiled eight carries for 90 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-13 loss against Oklahoma State.

Impact Montgomery is on fire with three touchdowns and 193 rushing yards over his last two games. It's surprising when you consider he's only had 18 carries in those games. Corey Kiner has received double-digit carries in all eight games this season, so Cincinnati still sees him as the primary runner in the backfield. With UCF up next, both Kiner and Montgomery could have big weeks as the Knights have the worst rush defense in the conference.

Impressive considering that starting RB Corey Kiner also had an impactful performance with 15 carries for 129 yards. It was just the second time this season that Montgomery has received double-digit carries. If he keeps running like this, he'll see an uptick in carries which could happen as early as next week at Oklahoma State.
