Tavion Thomas is out of shape. Has this been discussed?

[Ute Dub]

His first couple runs he looked strong but then the runs after that he looked weaker with each rep. How is he not in shape? 

[noneyadb]

Watch the Florida game. It was pretty evident he wasn’t in shape, and still isn’t. Hopefully he can take advantage of his opportunity. Glover was pretty good, definitely not a short yardage back yet.

[Tony (admin)]

Yep he was gassed.

[89ute]

He obviously did something that resulted in his first half benching, then followed it up with a very weak performance. He could be sick, regardless, there are players behind him eager to take advantage of coaching, training, nutrition, reps and overall opportunity.

Until I see otherwise, he is in the way and I am overjoyed with the players in the backfield earning reps vacated my Thomas.

5.5 yard average over 11 attempts is not a weak performance.

[89ute]

Mop up time against a team that quit. He was supposedly fresh and ready to redeem himself and he was tapping his helmet after a few carries. He would have had a 100!

[chinngiskhaan]

Huh? I’m not sure you understand how this works. You say something, someone else says something that proves you wrong, you admit you were wrong and move on.

He had a 5.5 yard average, that is objectively solid if not great. The fact that it came against a crappy team was out of his control.

[89ute]

I made a mistake, he *should have had 100.

[Ute Dub]

Wrong. 1 rush of 30 yards, and then 10 more rushes at 3 YPC.

[RedUte14]

Glover was not as impressive to me at a 3.6/3.7 average last night

[AZUteFan]

How did this get downvoted? Anybody that thought Glover looked impressive watched a completely different game than us. Glover looked like Jordan Wilmore. That ASU run defense is garbage.

[89ute]

I view Glover through a different lens. I don’t like that one guy can stop him in his tracks. However, he’s young. I think he is giving us pretty much what Zach Moss gave us as a true frosh. If we see the same next year then he needs to move on but I think we will see nothing but upside from here. The kid is hungry and plays his heart out.

[chinngiskhaan]

He had some impressive runs, but he’s a true freshman. Also, I don’t think the offensive line was picking up guys like they should have been. He was consistently being hit in the backfield. Moss had issues as a young guy with vision as well. Glover will be fine. He needs to learn to keep his eyes up.

[MTUTE]

What concerns me about Glover, is that he seemed to go down on first contact. It may be a maturation process, but it was concerning nonetheless.

238 lb’s my ass.  Tavion is a cheeseburger away from being a guard at this point.

[Utesbyfive]

Tavion kept pulling up his pants. That should tell us something.
