Two touchdowns in narrow win Jones accrued nine carries for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 50-49 win versus California. He also caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown.

Impact Jones continued to take a back seat to MarShawn Lloyd, but the senior scored his fifth and sixth touchdown of the season in the victory. jones would be a bonafide starter on another team, but USC's penchant for grabbing talent out of the transfer portal has continuously relegated Jones to second fiddle.

Leads way in backfield Jones rushed 12 times for 110 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 45-17 win over Fresno State. He also caught two passes for 18 yards.

Impact Week 3 was Jones' time to shine, averaging 9.2 yards per carry in the blowout. Despite the explosive offensive skill players all over this team, you'll find the least amount of target certainty in the backfield, where any number of players could reap the benefits. Jones is definitely a weekly candidate, but Travis Dye is going to top the box score more frequently.

Sputters in upset win Jones rushed 10 times for 13 yards in Saturday's 42-28 win over USC He also caught two passes for 54 yards.

Impact Jones has failed to get his running game together for two consecutive games. He's usually dependable as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, but he's now only rushed for 38 yards over two games, far short of what you'd expect from your lead back. Nathaniel Peat has stolen most of the thunder in the backfield, and Jones' struggles are definitely a problem that Stanford needs to rectify.

ineffective in loss Jones rushed nine times for 25 yards in Saturday's 24-7 loss to Kansas State. He also caught four passes for 30 yards.

Impact While Jones was efficient as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, he managed a paltry 2.8 yards per carry in Saturday's loss, which is a disappointing sign for the junior. Big things are expected for Jones after a promising 2020 campaign where he racked up nine touchdowns in only six games. He faces an uphill battle against an excellent USC defense in Week 2.
