Bowl game a pain for former Mission Hills High standout Jack Tuttle [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
Jack Tuttle refused to use pain as an excuse.
It was obvious, however, that the Indiana quarterback was hurting in Saturday’s Outback Bowl against Ole Miss.
Turns out that sometime in the first half, Tuttle the 2018 CIF Offensive Player of the Year at Mission Hills High separated his right (throwing) shoulder.
Tuttle finished the game completing 26 of 45 passes for 201 yards. He also rushed nine times for 29 yards in Indiana’s 26-20 loss.
Tuttle couldn’t remember exactly when it happened, but the pain began somewhere in the first half, he said.

TAMPA, FL. (WFIE) - Stevie Scott III gave thanks. No, not for Saturday’s 26-20 Outback Bowl loss to Ole Miss, but for the opportunity, the season, the moment. “Thankful to be part of this, part of that change,” Indiana’s junior running back said. “It’s sad we didn’t cap off the year like we wanted.” Scott paused in this Zoom moment. There was much to consider in a season that included a pandemic and a Top-10 national ranking. His 99 rushing yards and two touchdowns on Saturday gave him 586 yards and a third-straight season with 10 TDs. “We’ve broken through. It’s just the start.”
