Tettleton calmly marched the Bobcats methodically 93 yards down the field in 14 plays for a touchdown that put the game out of reach.
Three times on that drive Tettleton threw on third down. 11 yards to Jordan Thompson on 3rd and 1, seven yards to Bakari Bussey on 3rd and 5 for first downs and a picture perfect back corner fade to Donte Foster on 3rd and goal to culminate it.
The Bobcats ran off 6:42 and removed hope from Beaver Stadium.
Twenty-one unanswered points in the second half surged the Bobcats to a 24-14 win, maybe the biggest in program history.
It was similar to their final game of 2011, another landmark win, as they roared back from a double-digit deficit in Boise to notch their first bowl win.
Spearheading the triumph on the blue turf was Tettleton, who in his last game as a sophomore led the offense on a 61-yard game-winning drive in the final two minutes.
Tettleton didn't skip a beat Saturday.
The junior gives the Bobcats plenty of hope for 2012. 1-0 with their most difficult, BCS opponent off the schedule, Ohio can dream big.
Pressure may rise if an undefeated run stretches through the season but don't expect to see Tettleton fazed.
