Thomas: 50-50 chance to play against FAU

DENTON – UNT running back Jamario Thomas has a 50 percent chance of playing against Florida Atlantic on Saturday in Miami, coach Darrell Dickey said Wednesday.

Thomas has battled hamstring problems throughout the season and aggravated the injury in the Mean Green's loss to Louisiana-Lafayette last week. Thomas won the 2004 national rushing title with an average of 180.1 yards per game, but is posting just 45.1 yards a game this year

Hot Sports Opinion but wouldn't he and we be better served to let J-Mo sit out the rest of the season and rest that hammy? Let Patrick have his day in the sun these final games... just a thought. Hamstrings are a nasty injury so hard to heal...

Agreed - he has been nursing that thing all year - why screw it up (potentially permanently) for what is nothing more then a few "pride" games. Let Patrick rack up some yards so that he can have some sort of chance at the NFL and let JaMo heal up for next year. You know that old saying about having two great QB's is like having no QB at all... with our offense, having two great RB's with two different styles is like having no RB at all. Once JaMo came out of the game on Saturday - Patrick was able to get into a groove for the first time all year. The OL could stick to blocking for one style of running rather then adjusting every other set of downs and Pat had his first really good game of the year.

A big time program would rest it's star RB, but this is North Texas, where we can't decide if we're big time or not.
