08:28 AM ET 07.05 | In front of Denard Robinson, the stage is all yours, De'Anthony Thomas. LaMichael James was the Ducks' big-play guy last season; he led the nation with 19 runs covering at least 20 yards, 13 covering at least 30 and eight covering at least 40. This season, Ducks opponents will need to beware of Thomas, the L.A. product nicknamed "The Black Mamba." Thomas scored three times on plays covering at least 90 yards. He tied for the national lead with seven touches that covered at least 70 yards. He was second with 12 touches that covered at least 40 yards. ... Thomas did all that as a still-raw true freshman and had just 140 total touches. He scored once every eight times he touched the ball and averaged 15.96 yards on each touch.

Yeah but we all know they don't play defense in the 12 PAC!

Beat all the SEC homers to the punch. So, this is the end of the thread.

Those are some crazy stats, and he's a true freshman? You sure those aren't from some 16-year-old's CFB video game? P12 DCs better be paying attention to this cat.

I would agree w/ that....U$C should get 2 cracks at 'em and Gump will lose to Arky and LUS
