Its like the coaches kept saying "he's so big he can't possibly be that bad in short yardage situations..." But he was.

Being successful in short yardage situations isn't about size though.
It CAN be, but ultimately I think vision, awareness, good decision-making and explosion are more important.
Marcus Allen wasn't a big guy, but he knew how to move the chains. Or sneak into the endzone.
