It was a mild shock at Rutgers late in the third quarter with the Ducks leading 56-10 when Brock Thomas came in to play quarterback.
Thomas is 5-11, 195, a former walk-on from Sheldon High School in Eugene, a three-star prospect in the class of 2023. Luke Moga and Austin Novosad were both rated higher, taller and more accomplished as preps.
In his Monday press conference Dan Lanning said, "Over time, he's done a really good job in practice, he’s operated well, those guys have also done a really good job as well. But there's not anything necessarily that Brock hasn't done to earn those reps.
