You measure great players by their impact on the field -- and the void they leave when they're gone (in Solomon Thomas' case, with two years eligibility left).

Is it fair to ask how many potential 2017 wins -- Alamo Bowl included -- went with him?

I'll bite. How about all the losses by 3 or fewer points?

That makes...4. We'd be 12-1.
