Another interesting thing about Shamarko Thomas was that he never intercepted a pass until this year. I watched him get his first career interception matched up in man coverage against Robert Woods vs. Southern Cal... he played textbook technique covering Woods like a blanket and picked off Matt Barkley. The way he was used didn't lend itself to him picking off many passes. The Big-East is a conference where defenses had to stop RB's and the zone read first and foremost, and Syracuse was required to have their best athlete and tackler in position to do it.
