You give up a sure field goal with no time outs? Don't Blain it on the quarterback.

I love Tettleton, but a quarterback has to know better in that situation to throw it away. Can't blame the coach.

9 seconds left is plenty of time to throw a quick pass to the end zone and still have time for the FG if it's incomplete. Tyler needs to know that if there's nobody immediately open has has to throw the ball out the back of the endzone. He's so good at keeping plays alive, and it's definitely helped us in the past, but in that situation he's gotta know to just throw it away.

Team loss, but that last play is on #4.
Sorry...not dealing with a freshman quarterback.

Yeah, I blame the QB on that one. If it's not there, throw the ball away fast! I think Tyler's been heroic in so many late game drives that he sort of thinks he can do it every time. But he's not the only QB who has failed to throw the ball away and he'll learn. But he needed to be smarter there.

I have been saying all year that offensively Ohio plays to conservatively. Then when it comes down to crunch time Ohio moves the ball almost at will. When you have a QB as dynamic TT you have to open it up.

The same No 4 that just drove them 65 yards with a little over a minute, OK. Seriously did any of you expect that drive to happen and you telling me at the 1:20 your wouldn't have been crazy happy with a tying field goal to go to overtime. Could have just as easily thrown an interception as well.

Did we ever target Troy Hill even one time?

I agree with trying one more play, but there is not excuse not to have a timed pattern or throw it away.

Tettleton on final play: "I was just trying to make a play. I totally forgot we had no timeouts"

He didnt know we had no TO's left.

Oh, yes you gotta go for 6 in that situation. Go into OT and you really can't count on your D to stop Dysert-Harwell from getting 25 yards. T2 seemed panicky today, maybe trying to do too much. Not his typical sure-headedness at all.

You also have to remember that Tettleton was running for his life a soon as the ball was snapped. Where was his protection?

Miami brought guys as they had nothing to lose. He should have stood there for a second or two and then thrown it out of the endzone if they weren't open.

Solich just said TT has to throw the ball away, not sugar coating it. TT deserves the blame.

He didn't have anything like two seconds. The pocket was practically non-existent. No doubt he should have thrown it away, but he tried to force something. So here we are, and all the team can do is get ready for the next one. And if they're smart, they won't panic and start tearing the whole thing apart, including each other. They'll recognize they've come a hell of a long way in the past 8 years, but they still have room to get better. They have not yet arrived, contrary to what all this publicity made it seem like.

Today the team can self reflect and learn they're not a Top 25 team. They've got to get better to earn that distinction. But what they have to also recognize, is they are a damn fine team right now. Don't throw it all away with finger pointing and accusations. Buckle down, evaluate the problems, fix them, and keep getting better.

Does the clock stop on X-Box in that situation?

Please tell me TT is kidding that he didn't know we didn't have a timeout left.
He has to be joking. We are not talking about a freshman quarterback here.

Also, if you see that kind of rush coming, heave it out of the end zone or out of bounds. Taking a sack there was inexcusable for a veteran QB. And it's hard to imagine he forgot we were out of timeouts. Like I said elsewhere, T2 wasn't himself today.

My interpretation is that he knew we had no timeouts left, but just got caught up in the moment trying to make a play and wasn't thinking about the time out situation as the play was going on.

Love Tyler, but how on earth can he not know -- for that entire drive -- that we had no timeouts left.

Must have been a brain freeze. I'm sure the coaches told hime before that drive..."Tyler, we have no timeouts."

Tettleton's braincramp lost this game, but that offensive line was terrible all day long. bad penatalies, no holes for the running game and they gave up several sacks. The defensive once again was flat in the first quarter and once again gave up a scoring drive late in 4th quarter. The offense couldn't bail out the team this week as they were tripping over themselves with bad passss, dropped passed, penalties. The playing calling terrible. First and goal at the 5 and we call a pass play when we had the ability to power the ball in. If I'm the OC I'm calling Blanskenships number 3 times and lighting a fire under the derriers of that offensive line that was out played by Miami all day long. We settled for three. Three times in the redzone and we got six point from those drives.
I can't blame Solich at the end. Tettleton made the decison to continue the play. He gambled he could find on open receiver and lost. He knew he had no timeouts but kept going hoping to win the game. Its in the players hands. Tettleton is either gonna win it or lose it. He lost it. He didn't allow for the tie.

Agreed. And let's not forget that was the third time TT took a drive-crushing sack in the second half. The first two were on third down -- first one took the team out of field goal range, the second one made for a really long field goal. And obviously the third cost the chance of going to overtime.

I still love TT's aggressiveness, but we can hope today is a game he learns from. Playing smart beats playing aggressive. (Odd, too, because there were several times today he did see that nothing was open and calmly threw it out of bounds. Why not on those three critical plays, though?)

Tyler, own this defeat and show you're a true leader by coming back with your best game Thursday night. There is still plenty of unfinished business this season. Go win the MAC!
