Unfortunately, the title game and then the senior-type bowl games and combine really sunk Troy hard. Enough so, with what some saw as a questionable ethic, that it really undid much of the positive attitude 'redemption' created by his Heisman campaign and win.
It's disappointing, because some of it was avoidable. Troy made a big deal to say that he was grounded and wouldn't buy into or over do the "banquet circuit," but even he has now suggested he did.
At the end of the day, he'll end up in the NFL. Then it's on him to impress them. Is he more Michael Bishop than Drew Brees, as the NFL seems to believe, or is it the other way around the way most Buckeye fans feel? Time will tell.
