Brief Ty Thompson Sighting

Recommended Posts

TT transferred to Tulane undoubtedly believing that would be the starter for that team.  Going from the powerhouse U of O program to an AAC program seemed like a surefire way to breeze in as a starter. 

 

Unfortunately, he was beaten out for the job by a REDSHIRT FRESHMAN, Darian Mensah.  As I was seeing CFB scores scroll by yesterday, I saw that Tulane completely destroyed UAB 71-20 on Saturday and I was wondering if TT got to light up UAB.  The answer is a resounding "no". 

 

TT had had the following stat line:

He also had 3 rushing attempts for 10 yards and 1 TD.  Now, The game may have been out of reach earlier and there was no cause to sling it downfield.  So, I thought to myself, "self, what is TT's stat line YTD?"  Self said, "Google it like everyone else, idiot".  So, here is what I discovered for 2024:

 

Passing:  6 of 9 for 74 yards and 2 TDs.

Rushing:  22 attempts for 104 yards and 4 TDs.

 

I know that this forum has discussed TT in depth over the last several years and we had extensive discourse how he did not seem to have that confidence or knowledge of the offense that we thought he should.  We have also talked about how his rating was based on "potential" versus what he was showing.  Unfortunately, it appears that Tulane probably saw what we at this forum observed for several years.  I do feel bad for the kid because I REALLY wanted to see him succeed.  Clearly the star rating system was a miss with TT.

 

I will say that when Dillon Gabriel left the game for that one series and Dante Moore came in, I haven't felt that much sense of calmness in a backup QB since Bryan Bennett was MM's backup.  Dante has a presence and confidence about him that lets you know he's got the situation.

 

TT, I am still out on west coast pulling for you and I hope you get your shot someday.  Once a Duck, Always a Duck.

I got to watch him play high school ball a few times and the kid was a phenom.

 

I hope we can figure it out.

Well, we do have some interest.   Mensah's sister:

I do follow and watch Tulane football.   TT unfortunately still hasn't improved much.  He is only put in the game whenever they need a short yardage QB draw play, typically near the goal line.  That's why his stat looks deceivingly good.   His throwing is still very inaccurate.   At least he will be getting a degree from a good school, but don't count on him playing after college.
