Tommy Stevens only ran for 10 yards on Sunday night in the Grey Cup.
But twice out of his four carries, he ended up in the end zone.
Stevens was the short-yardage specialist for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, scoring two of their three touchdowns in claiming the CFL championship with a 25-17 win over Montreal.
It was a specialist role, as the QB didn't do any passing.
But it worked to perfection.

Stevens has traveled a long football journey.
He was a powerful, run-happy quarterback at Penn State.
From there, the New Orleans Saints made him a seventh-round draft pick.
Then he moved on to the Carolina Panthers, for whom Stevens played in his only NFL game (and had a 24-yard run).
After that it was the New York Giants, but without any game action.
Stevens then left for Canada, playing three seasons for the Calgary Stampeders.
He only joined Saskatchewan this season, and he delivered to help them win the Grey Cup.
