While I think C.Thomas is one of the most elusive RBs I've ever seen, right up there with Barry Sanders in fact, I'd still rather have A.Allen. I think Allen is faster, plus given the film that we have I think Allen showed he could catch the ball better comming out of the backfield, plus Allen really showed that he can effectively run through the tackles on a consistant basis. Even though they're both smaller RB Allen almost always seemed to be able to power into a pile of players at the line of scrimmage and then still managed to blast through the other side with an explosive burst of speed. Now, all that being said I still think Thomas looks like an excellent prospect, and he would be a valuable edition to the Irish recruiting class.
Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below. - Grantland Rice 1924
