Jordin Thomas Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Lincoln came up short on Friday despite Jordin Thomas delivering his best game to date. Thomas rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (104.8). He has become a key player for Lincoln: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Kimball had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Thomas it was a similar story. Thomas rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in August of 2023.
