Guess Mariota has been doing better then I thought.

Not bad, Mariota doing a good job

Thomas was a pretty decent running threat his first year as a starter. The knee injury he sustained early on last year (Zona?) really slowed him down, but he retained his two best qualities being clutch & tough.

DT was named All-Conference 2nd team following his first year and if anything it looks like MM is slightly ahead of his pace statistically. The big upcoming games will be a good gauge for him

Interesting comparison. Almost identical, stats wise.
