The kid had an amazing season. Now he gets to validate it against great competition.

Why is the truth so hard for people to take?

So the kid has racked up cheat code video game numbers with every defense Wayne has faced keying directly on him for the ENTIRE game but he still has to validate his season? I think the truth here is that some fans hold other teams' players to a higher standard than they do their own. It's ok...we're all imperfect fans in one way or another.

Honestly, in reading through the boards throughout the season as it to pertains to Wayne, I don't think Thompson gets enough credit for building a quality program at a place like Wayne. They have been a consistently good football team for the last several years and he makes his undersized (most of the time) guys believe they can compete with anyone on any field. Wayne just doesn't have the population to harvest a large number of skilled players. Thompson gets everything out of those boys that they have to give night in and night out.

That being said, I think JC is way to much for Wayne to handle tonight. I think Sloan will get some yards but I don't think Wayne's OL will be effective enough to give him the help he needs against a team like JC.
