Looks like CJH has figured out how to maximize Milton

[sami]

Damn, can't some of you guys just enjoy a nice win on the road? Let's just play the stinkin' games one at a time before drawing conclusions on what the final record will be.

 

[Vol737]

We will be 9-3 at best

And that’s fine by me, especially how this season has gone. 8-4 isn’t a deal killer either, but I sure don’t want to lose to Mizzou and that little, bratty Drinkafifth.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Overall he played great. He needs to do much better in the red zone. But I like no INTs.

You make that sound like it’s underachieving

Yeah, the red zone is the one bugaboo that CJH has to figure out. Can't settle of FG's against the really good teams.

 

[CAVPUT]

I know Milton is limited, but I'm questioning how much is Joe and how much should fall on our WRs and their inability to read and get separation?

 

[posivol]

Going into this game Kentucky’s D line was leading the country in rush defense allowed. We ran for 254 tonight. GBO

a&m was as well

 

[MT_Vol]

LMFAO! Yeah, because it's his fault the o-line keeps jumping in the red zone. SMDH

 

[Sudden Impact]

The key was no awful interceptions. Also I don't recall a bad overthrow. I actually think he under threw Keyton up the right sideline. The ball trailed back into the middle of the field instead of carrying him on up the sideline. Overall, a winning performance.

I also felt the Refs missed two PIs against KY tonight as well as a couple vs AL

It would be a very good season

 

[Eastknox865]

We make the playoff if we win out and beat Alabama in the rematch. Yes team is sloppy and undisciplined and that’s kind of what Josh is

Georgia would need to lose 2 games

 

[TNHopeful505]

Milton played well but the defense needs to get much better to be a playoff team

Man that ship sailed in September. We lost our shot at the playoffs when we lost to Florida. A NY6 bowl isnt completely out of the question, but playoffs are. The only way we even win the east is if we win out and Georgia craps the bed against us and another team. The SEC will be lucky if even one team gets in this year.

 

[VFL 89]

Agreed he had a good game, but Joe still looks to me like he's running scared/cautiously/half speed and not with full awareness of where's he's at on the field. It looks weird to me.

 

[Volfan1000]

Joe was excellent tonight - decisive, made some nice throws on the move and was accurate all night, and was a beast running the ball. The called QB runs and the options were huge, and Josh was dialing them up on big downs, like the final 1st down that sealed the game.

It took half a season, but it appears that Josh has come up with a game plan that is maximizing what Joe does best, and taking advantage of his size and strength in the run game. We saw hints of it in the A&M game, but tonight against a pretty good defense was the best this offense has looked all season.

Milton is slowly developing into an NFL draft pick each week.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Playoffs are out, simply because we aren't going to jump from 19 or where ever we land this week to Top 4.

The SEC is weak this year. Georgia has shown vulnerabilities and is one loss away from being bumped way down. Bama is one loss away from being out of contention at all. Mizzou is still ranked. But even if we annihilated all of the remaining teams, including UGA, that loss to Florida and fall apart to Bama wouldn't be enough to get us in the Top 4.

I'm pretty sure that its gonna be Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida State when it all shakes out. And that's assuming Georgia doesn't lose. Which, i don't think the SEC will let them lose.

 

[VolArmy74]

His checkdown to Sampson on the final TD drive was beautiful. Perfectly thrown and a great decision.

Gotta play better than this if we're going to beat Mizzou at their place this year. Happy for the win tonight but we easily could have lost this game. KY QB was hitting pass after pass tonight.

 

[ENGRVOL]

The penultimate drive where Sampson took over and the final drive were 2 of the best drives we had all year. Just complete mastery of an opponent. Milton dive before going out of bounds on the final drive demonstrated an awareness of the game which he had rarely shown all year.

As someone who has lived on the Tennessee kentucky border winning this game means still so very much and appreciate the effort our vols showed winning this game

Best call of the night.

I had visions of Travis Henry run, run, run

 

[Raebo]

Where are the nega Milton posters?
I figured they would either
1. Say nothing or
2. Admit Milton played well or
3. Nitpick about something or
4. Say he played well followed by a nitpick.

Using Joe’s legs more is encouraging.

 

[rocytop2624]

They play Ole Miss and Mizzou.

 

[VolBoyFord]

Yeah, sorry for not being on board with Milton being “figured out” 8 games into his 6th season. He had an amazing game. Probably the best he’s ever played. I HOPE it continues. I do not have faith that we have suddenly just dialed in a 6th year senior Qb

I think there will not be an SEC team in the CFP. They would love for Michigan and Ohio State both to get in, and it may happen.
