Thames made 39 total tackles from the DT position (16 solo, 23 assists) on the season. From Glen Rose, Texas, he had six tackles-for-loss, three sacks for 16 yards, and forced a fumble against Texas A&M - Commerce.

Giffen was a perfect 5-5 on field goal attempts this season with a long of 38 yards against Western New Mexico. He had 61 punts on the season, downing 11 inside the 20 yard line with eight going for at least 50 yards.
