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!
