Tettleton seems almost unwilling to run now, like he's afraid of getting hurt. I'd actually say he's regressed since his sophomore year overall. Maybe he's cut down on forcing passes, but he doesn't make all the same plays. Also, every team has Blankenship's number this year. See Dri Archer's decreased productivity as well. We need to pass or run with the qb more, but it just isn't there after Tettleton's Sophomore year. Get sophomore Tettleton on this team and it would be better in my honest opinion. Tettleton running that much would greatly improve this team. Gotta miss players like Brazil and Price as well. (no offense to Cochran, Foster and co.). The receiving corps is talented, but nobody sticks out as a huge star which sucks since having a huge star receiver with the rest of this years good receiving corps would make the passing game that much better and open up the passing game.
I think you underestimate how much Ohio misses players like Skyler Allen, Eric Herman, Bryce Dietz and Vince Carlotta, not to mention Jon Lechner, Sam Johnson, etc. Most people underestimate the value the offensive line, but a good offensive line makes all the difference in the world in how the QB looks, and how much yardage the running backs get.
