He really is doing his best to soil his legacy at Ohio with this complete no show the last few weeks. Bench this loser now!

Sorry I wasn't watching the game...what do you mean he 'just sat down?'  Are we talking mid-play?

First, you should not be sorry you're not watching this game. Second, yes.

He was about to get sacked/hit as he was scrambling and just went into this half slide/sit down gesture instead of trying to throw the ball or go upfield etc. Weird play, bad body language afterward

Kent had a d lineman who had a play on him, kind of? I mean, he may have been able to get a hand on him, potentially anyway. Certainly wouldn't have destroyed him. And TT just sat down. Was pretty unbelievable.

That play reflects his total unwillingness to take ANY contact this season. It is also on display every time he refuses to keep the ball on what appear to be read-option plays all season long. Tyler has done a lot for OU Football, but he's disappointed this year.

Would this season's Tettleton score on that play to beat Utah St. in the Potato Bowl? I doubt it.

No need to pass further judgment on Tettleton, for his era at OU is now over.

But shame on Frank if TT gets even a snap in the finale. I don't care if it's senior day. This season is now over, and it's time to get a jump on next year. Vick should play every snap.

I agree.  Give me players that play hard every down, every game anyday.

 Tettleton gave up awhile ago.   It's rather unbelievable, and incredibly disappointing.  But we have seen this all year:

--He hasn't wanted to run at all this year, from Game 1, for fear of injury.  
--In the Miami game, when he needed to come back in in 4th Q, he pouted and when he took the snaps he barely moved when he handed the ball off.  It looked strange from the stands but now we know what was going on.
--These last 3 games, he's been completely AWOL...producing horrible passing numbers and again no interest in running.  16 points in 3 games.   The Cats have been embarrassed 3 weeks in a row on national TV.
--Been saving himself for the NFL Combine.  The irony is that yes, he hasn't injured himself, but he's also sent any stock he had plummeting downward.
--Now he has earned a reputation of playing only for himself, and not for team or Ohio University.  Zero leadership.

Frank has seen this all year but hasn't stepped up and led, not said these actions from your QB, your leader, are unacceptable.   The attitude has rubbed off on other players, and obviously coaches...as they put up with it.  That's the culture right now with Ohio football.

As a two-time alumnus and a huge Bobcat fan, this has been the most embarrassing 3 weeks in a long, long time.

Frank, thanks for rebuilding the program and the facilities.  Clearly though, you've lost control or the respect of your players...or you're not recruiting and developing true leaders -- who wouldn't stand for this -- into the program.  I would think the few true stand-up leaders on the team like Donte Foster hate seeing this.  Lavon Brazill would probably blow a gasket if he was on this team right now.

Maybe falling down is one of our plays.

A really good coach would take the players we have on and the incoming recruits and pretty much win the MAC next year.

He decided to sit down on the field. Think about that.

if we're honest with ourselves TT hasn't been the same since he was benched after the Marshall win last year.

Just from reading this board, it seemed pretty clear his attitude for a while has been, "I'm over it."

The demise of Tyler Tettleton is one of the most baffling things I have ever seen.  I just don't get it, at all.  This guy was an absolute TREASURE his sophomore season and first half of junior season.  Incredible skill set, top notch execution and play making ability, and by all accounts an extremely team-oriented and nice guy.  He was getting national attention as a premiere Quarterback.  How does this happen?!?!

There has to be something more to it, there just has to be.  Nagging injuries, coaching feud, video game addiction...Hell I'd even consider point shaving and drug use at this point.  It just makes no sense.

I've seen it with youth athletes who get hurt. They just can't get themselves to play again. Perhaps he just doesn't care anymore.

That's not to diminish his prior accomplishments. But it's time to move on. It was awhile ago, actually.

-17 yards rushing heading into the game for TT.

Two years ago, he had 600+

It hit me watching middle-of-the-road Reardon hitting 3rd down and long with his running/scrambling ability. It's just gone for TT. And he's not 6-4 with a rocket arm. He doesn't have the arm or stature for the style of QB he's emulating.
