Derrick Green was all or nothing in 2014

Really interesting stuff here: Bill Connelly charts the Opportunity Rate (number of runs of five or more yards) and Highlight Yards per Opportunity (yards not credited to the offensive line on those runs) of all runners with 75 or more carries in 2014, and Michigan's Derrick Green pops up as the second player on his "All-Or-Nothing" list of players with 7.5 or more Highlight Yards per Opportunity, but who turned fewer than 35 percent of their carries into gains of 5.0+ yards.

Basically, that means that Green, who ran roughshod against Appalachian State, Miami of Ohio, and Rutgers, busted really big plays when he busted big plays, but didn't do so very often as a percentage of his total carries.
