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.
