TT is 100 percent!

Posted: 10/11/2012 10:56:30 AM

I have it on good authority that TT is finally at 100 percent for Saturday's game. I've also heard that several more of our injured players will probably be back after the bye week. If we can survive the Roos, I think we'll be in good shape for the stretch run. Go OHIO!

I trust OCF's good authority.

I've seen crazier things happen.

I have it on good authority that TT (and other athletes) often overstate their readiness to play, and they are notoriously bad at percentages.

I will grant that "I gave 110%" sounds better than the more factual "I gave 92%", but that does drive me crazy...

I hope that he is 100%, but he would have had to improve a great deal from last Saturday. I hope we can get to the bye week "clean", so we can be as healthy as possible in oxford. The 'Roos are going to be a handful on Saturday. We will have to be at our best to get this one !

According to an Arkley tweet, Coach Albin said Tettleton was 100 percent last week and Tettleton's lack of running was a product of the play calls. I don't think too many will believe that, but if he really was healthy last week, then he really should be good this Saturday.

That statement would have drawn howls of laughter just a few weeks ago. That being said that's the way I'm looking at the schedule as well. I think if we win this week we crack the top 25 and come back as healthy as we've been in a while after the bye week. Unfortunately this week isn't the cake-walk it appeared to be a month ago.

I don't buy it that TT was 100% vs. Buffalo.

You and at least 15,000 or so other spectators, Jeff. No question the play calling highlighted something but I think it was whatever TT's condition was and not our game plan. No one around me could recall a single option play against UB, much like the UMass game.

Why you would voluntarily limit your offense in a game that was seriously in doubt most of the day is very puzzling. I sure hope we see the return of the real #4 this week.

I think he's 100%*.

*as long as he doesn't take a shot to the ribs.

I'll remove the asterisk when I see him run up the middle and lower the boom on a linebacker. Until them I am 100% skeptical, regardless of who says what.

He may be 100%, if the standard is "as healthy as a dual threat QB should reasonably be 6 games into the season". But he ain't start-of-the-season 100%. Nobody is (including me).

For those that never played D1 football..no starters are ever "100 Percent" especially after 2-3 games. Looking at the film Buffalo did a great job of mirroring TT out of the pocket and TT kept his eyes downfield making several nice throws to pick up additional yardage. I think however with a healthy Boykins this also lightens his load in carry the ball.

I saw Boo at the Pub just before Fall camp 2010 and asked him how he was doing after shoulder surgery. He claimed he was "90%".

Anyone that watched those first 3-4 games of the season know that he was nowhere near 90%. He could barely throw the ball.

Just something to keep in mind :)

I am a couple months off of 2 major surgeries. 90% is my favorite number when people ask, even though I am still only 1/500th the athlete I was a year ago.

Yeah, but that process started before the surgeries.

I can't speak for T^2, but I am 100%...sure that I won't be able to focus at all during my 1/2-3/4 day I put in tomorrow before getting west bound and down toward Athens!

For the record, my source was not TT himself.

Also, my basketball game is better today than when I was 25, but that's like going from 5 percent to 10 percent.

Very true. That is why I said 1 year ago versus 5 years ago. I can't count high enough to numerically describe that...

I will refrain mentioning the Reds.
