Lexington Thomas’ girlfriend not impressed despite UNLV back’s breakout season

UNLV running back Lexington Thomas might be 12th in the nation in rushing and third in the Mountain West, but his girlfriend isn’t impressed.

“My girlfriend told me (Monday) that I’ve got to step my game up. … She even gets on me about that,” Thomas said. “I try not to look at it like that. I just try to win a game. She wants me to be No. 1 at everything.”

With Thomas leading the way with 453 rushing yards and six touchdowns, the Rebels have the nation’s 14th-ranked rushing offense at 250.3 yards per game.
