And there's also this, from a post-game interview with Rose Bowl hero Christian McCaffrey after he led Stanford to a lopsided win:

Interviewer Maria Taylor of ESPN:
"Well, Christian, quite an explosive night. You break two Rose Bowl records.  How aware were you of your productition all throughout the game?"  

I assume a nonce blend of "productivity" with "production" rather than an actual entry in her lexicon.
