Last August, junior college transfer Mark Thompson brazenly predicted he would already have 1,000 yards rushing by the time the Florida Gators reached their open date on the week of Oct. 22.
And how did that work out?
Well, let's see, he fell only 738 yards short. Yes, short.
And things only went south from there. He lost playing time and carries due to ball security issues, was suspended from the Georgia game for a violation of team rules and basically disappeared over the final five games of the regular season, rushing for only 37 yards on nine carries.
