Does the staff send another message to Ty

Loss is mostly on Ty and the OC. He looked terrible against LSU as well.

Are we ignoring the 50 yard punt return from a dead to rights tackle? The fumble in our own red zone on a punt return?.... The missed field goal?

Special teams lost us the game. The offense coughed up 10 points but it also threw 21 on the table and gave us a shot at 24.

There were some questionable decisions by Grubb and Ty, but at the end of the day that wasn't what damned us the most.

One could say much the same about the Florida State game. There were drops. We abandoned the run. Some poor blocking. But, at the end of the day, the staff felt like Ty didn't play up to standard, so they sent a message by telling him they were giving Mac a series early in the first half.

I think that, along with some other issues, Ty has played below standard for several weeks now. Jam ended up losing playing time because of his substandard play. I can't help but wonder if the staff isn't looking at Ty and thinking, "we can get better play than this." I think their offense really kind of relies on high level qb play. The future of this team rides on how well the qb plays. Ty probably plays better when he has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder and a nothing to lose mentality.

And no one in the world of film review agrees with you

Film review? Don’t you know that Jim Bob sitting in his La-Z-Boy in his den in front of his 100-inch TV screen with a six-pack of Michelob in him knows a thousand times more about REAL football than all these high-priced coaches?

This is ridiculous. Ty is not the problem.

The offense netted 11 points in a 60 minute game and an additional interception was rakem from the board by an irrelevant Oklahoma penalty.

Yeah because throwing a pick six and then fumbling to give Oklahoma the field goal position to kick the winner is not his fault.

It's not his fault his passes are inaccurate.

It's not his fault he was warned by the head coach and OC to not hold the ball yet held the ball.

It's not his fault he can't accurately throw the ball past 30 yards so no one fears our deep ball and every team plays close to the line of scrimmage.

It's not hus fault even the intermediate passes he was perfect from he can't even hit consistently anymore.

It's not his fault!

Yeah, all the *true* gurus of film review are telling us that Ty is playing great. It's not his fault.

Absolutely there's blame to go around. The special teams were atrocious. The line has had some bad play at times. But Ty has shown some serious issues lately. Yes, he is cerebral and can get us into the right play, or adjust the protection. He's light years better in that regard to what we had last year. But, it is undeniable that he's having head problems.

His deep throws are just bad. One throw to a wide open Cuevas should have been a walk in TD. Yet, Ty was so nervous that he under threw the ball and Cuevas had to slow down to catch it. The OK defender was able to catch up to Cuevas and tackle him. Fortunately we scored anyway. On the last drive two of his throws were sophomore Jalen Hurts bad. These are throws Ty can absolutely make and should have made.

Ty did not lose the game on his own, but he certainly could have won it and didn't.

Again, after the FLST game the staff saw issues with Ty. He was uptight and made dumb mistakes. They sent a message and he responded and played like a Heisman contender. He's not playing anywhere close to that right now. Funny how many of the people who will demand perfection from our coaches will settle for very average from our quarterback.

*Cue* "Our coaches are responsible for making the players great." Okay, well benching players can help make that happen. It did before.

I believe Ty can be very, very good. We've all seen it. But, we have also seen that he has been very not so good since Missouri. He's holding on to the ball looking for big plays instead of taking what he has given to him. He's throwing a stupid ball up like he did on the last drive when he was getting sacked. That ball should have been intercepted.

Ty needs a knot jerked in his tail.

This is why he should have played more last year. He's getting his 1st introduction to this kind of pressure. We need to get our back qbs playing time. Otherwise we are gonna have the same thing happen next year.
