Default Altidore and Davies = "Thunder & Lightning"

Jonah Freedman from Sports Illustrated came up with this for the Jozy and Davies strike force:
Quote:
Based on Altidore's strength in front of goal and Davies' explosiveness, I'm calling them "Thunder & Lightning" from this point forward. (For the record, Davies loved that idea when I suggested it Saturday night.)

I think Oklahoma had 2 RBs in the mid-90s that had that nickname too. Actually I think anytime there is a 2 RB duo where one is big and one is fast they get that nickname.
