[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 85833, member: 265"] The thing that impressed me the most about Thomas last night was his unselfishness. He had been running opposing Ds ragged. The temptation to keep doing that and hope for the breaks must have been substantial. Instead, he used their focus on him to lure them into situations where both the dive and the pitches were there for the taking. And he was absolutely faultless on his pitches in this game, though da U helped on that by committing to stop him so early. If you want to make a comparison between him and Tevin, I think that it is this. While Tevin ended up as the all-time ACC leader in rushing for QBs, most teams didn't respect him - correctly - as a game breaker. Result = against really good Ds they would make him beat them with his arm and feet and cut off everything else. That resulted in a lot of very, very close games where Tevin performed well but that Tech usually lost, largely because we couldn't get the rest of the skill players involved. As the VT game showed, those days are over. I expect most opposing Ds to put "stop Justin Thomas" first and foremost for the rest of the year. Some will succeed, like da U did last night. And they will pay for it, like da U did last night. [/QUOTE]
