Bounces back with leading role Thomas rushed 18 times for 91 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 42-32 loss to UCLA. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. Impact Thomas' status was in doubt due to an absence from pre-game warmups, but he charged back into relevance in the loss after two sub=par games. It's apparent that Thomas had been dealing with some sort of injury over the past couple of weeks, which is why Micah Bernard was absorbing a lot of Thomas' workload. They were once again in a timeshare Saturday, but Thomas looked a lot more like himself. The Utes will always be a run-first team, and they need Thomas at his best to prop up the offense.
