Syracuse, N.Y. — It’s the No. 34 that comes to mind for Rob Konrad when he watches Syracuse running back Sean Tucker.

Konrad says Tucker, who leads the nation in rushing with 1,060 yards, reminds him of Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer and former Miami Dolphins running back Thurman Thomas. Konrad played with Thomas in Miami during the 2000 NFL season.
