Last Saturday’s 38-35 homecoming victory over Duke will always be a memorable afternoon for senior quarterback Justin Thomas and Tech football fans.
It was a day for the record books for the Prattville, Ala., native as Thomas totaled a career high 459 yards, including career highs 264 passing yards and 195 rushing yards. Like he has all his career, Thomas willed his team to victory breaking off big play after big play when his team needed him the most.
His performance was historic as he became the fourth FBS player since 2000 to throw for more than 250 yards, run for over 190 yards and account for two passing and two rushing touchdowns.
