I went to the Frank Solich Show at Donato's this evening.  Here's very brief summary from memory.  I didn't take notes.

1. We are an aggressive team.  We coach aggressiveness and taking the game to the other team.  Therefore, Frank was OK with fielding the punt but, of course, not the muff.  

2.  The slow start was puzzling.  He said the team came ready to play but didn't play well in the first part of game.  He said something to the effect that being well prepared and playing well weren't the same thing.

3.  The players called a team meeting.  He as a coach never suggests such meetings, but he also doesn't object to them either. He seemed to think that the meetings today (the defensive players had their own separate meeting from the full team meeting) were a positive sign that the players were serious about getting the job done the rest of the season.  

4.  TT injured his foot early in the game.  That did limit their play calling in terms of having TT run.  However, that was not part of the plan going into the game but an adjustment they made due to the circumstances.  He didn't say anything related to whether TT's injury would impact his playing going forward.  (I certainly hope not.)

Some of the above is my interpretation of coach speak, a language in which I'm not totally fluent.

Addendum:

1.  Frank also said that going for two in that situation was almost automatic, because a six-point lead would have meant they would have had to complete an extra point after a TD to go ahead.  This was reinforced by the fact that they had already missed a PAT earlier in the game.  He said jokingly that everyone in "coach circles" knows this, and that if you didn't know it you weren't circulating in coaching circles.  It was kind of funny the way he said it, and my retelling doesn't capture the humor.  Sorry! 

2. He said that we must do a better job of establishing the running game, and that we are getting better with our blocking assignments but further improvement is needed.  

I was hoping that the Frank Solich show was going to be part of "Undercover Boss" last week.

Strangely, our dynamic duo on XTQ were saying during the game that TT had a shoulder issue.  They even comment on how some of his passes appeared not as good as usual.   Frank didn't say anything about a shoulder problem, so I assume that that information was incorrect.  I suspect that Frank knows more about the location of TT's injury, no offense to Russell and Robert.. 

Though...you have to wonder if anyone is telling the full truth. Its in Frank's interest to keep DC's guessing about Tyler's ability (and willingness) to run the ball. So would he actually tell us if there was a problem?

Debate and disagreement are healthy.  Here we disagree.  Without TT running 5 or 6 times a game, especially early in games, to me Ohio loses a strong dimension or component of its offense.   His not doing so translates into defenders having less to concern themselves with and react to. 

As last Saturday's game moved through the first 3 quarters, it was clear that CMU defenders were playing with increasing confidence.  And confidence, as we know, is central to success. 

Let me look ahead to EMU for a moment.  If TT doesn't run early, I will not be surprised if EMU's certifiably porous defense performs more effectively against Ohio than it has against prior opponents. 

We've had discussions all year about T2's apparent unwillingness to run.  It might be one factor in the overall ineffectiveness of our running game.  The defenses can focus more on our RBs if they don't have to worry about him taking off.

...and yet, after mid-way through the 3rd quarter, CMU never stopped Ohio again. Ohio scored a TD every time they got the ball, except for the very last drive, when the clock ran out.

Monroe, respectfully and I am sorry to have referred to your thoughts as silly.  I was taught that if I did not have something nice to say, keep my thoughts to myself, sorry mom.  You are correct that TT is all about getting it done.  If a way does not present itself he will find one and if one is not to be found he will make one.  We are both big fans.  As the OL gets thinner and thinner his mobility will become more and more important as we use the options, roll outs etc. out of necessity.  In play action, Ohio's greatest and the MAC's most efficient passer can choose any receiver from anywhere on the field. Option runs and roll outs actually reduce the area being attacked.  They reduce the options available and involve the sideline to help the defense.  I have been watching as TT has grown and more and more players have stepped up who can require defensive attention. Given pass protection I have expected to see more pro style passing.  There will be none of that if TT would be running for his life all the time.  Fran Tarkenton was mobile and I loved watching him.  Monroe you mentioned TT ability to escape sacks, like when Fran took off, you just know something good is going to happen.  Enough ramblings.
