Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

So far this season:

Milton throws passes no one can catch.
Hooker throws passes either team can catch.
Bailey hasn't thrown a pass.

Hopefully Bailey will get some time in the Tennessee Tech game. I'd love to see Milton put it all together in a game though.

Like I said he was 8-12 for over 100 yds with 1 TD if Hyatt makes the catch…. His inconsistency means you allow Hooker to prove he can be the guy but a QB guru shouldn’t give up on a talent like Milton.

Lol….Milton is garbage…I don’t give a damn what he does in practice!!! It is what it is you either can play under the lights or you can’t!! Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane!

With what this fanbase has endured. They are lucky 80k we’re still coming. I blame no one who decided to stay at home and save their hard earned money.

I get it. I think if the AD were charging prices more reflective of what we have endured, say $20, people would be more apt to take a chance. But on the flip side, most of the folks who have put us through all of this are gone. Do we withhold our support from the ones trying to fix it because of the sins of their predecessors?

Try being a Cubs and Vol fan. Once in a lifetime championship and perpetual misery the rest of your life.

Same things were said last week. If this had happened or this. I don’t care about what should or could have happened. Truth is, two games in and he is overthrowing most passes. We SHOULD have been up 21-0 if he could throw better. And the game would have been pretty much over.

Milton definitely has the most upside. I trashed Hooker initially. He was pretty consistent. Maybe consistency helps out the defense.

He looked like we had set plays to run with his skill set…. Not sure if they will continue to work after teams watch the film but will be awesome if he stays consistent.

Missouri looks better than I thought…

Kentucky transfer QB looks exactly like the kid we played today


Which is not good for us

A bit extreme regarding Hooker. He was 15/21. Hardly inaccurate. DB made a great read running all the way across the field on a developing combo route when UT had to press behind late and with no running game…

Maybe but we don’t appear to have Tom Brady walking through that door so we have to work with what we got.

Milton didn’t fumble that either. He was flat on his back and Pitt player raked that ball away. Ref changed play to a fumble but there was no video evidence to overturn.

I was very confused on how that was ruled a fumble. They were both on the ground and then the Pitt player pulled the ball away. We didn't play well enough to win but there were some bad calls by the refs that probably led to some frustration plays.

Yep we are struggling at the QB position but we havre to work with what we got.

I’m not sure what you people are doing down there, but every single female in the crowd was attractive on TV

Should help recruiting

Was talking to my buddies about this today. It’s weird when you think about the creeper dudes behind those cameras. Those dudes are just scanning the student section and settling in on a pocket of attractive coeds.

 

[Orange Studs]

I am in the minority, but I wasn’t impressed with Hooker. He did some things well. I think if the coaches go into a game week with him as QB1 the play calling will be better for him.

I don’t think he is any better than an Emory Jones - great athlete, good runner, good read option, sub par arm at best.

He actually hit receivers.

Those are both Ls.

Only 3 definite Ws left on our schedule are TN Tech, S. Alabama, Vandy. SC will be a pick’em.

4-8 or 5-7

But we will be quick to tell everybody how bad they are and how we will beat them - until we don't.

South Carolina is pretty bad. Way worse than us as of today.

Yeah I’m guilty of that

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Am I the only one that knows in my heart of hearts that if we break a big play but get stopped inside the 10 that we aren’t scoring?

 

[pierce60]

Does anyone think Small or Evans converts that 4th and 1? That’s a tough ask for a true freshman, especially one that size.

All day and all night. If this crew on here had not endured 4 years of #2 I could understand not getting the difference in a practice player and a gamer. Coaches who are more focused on process than winning never seem to learn the lesson of substance over style as well. I hope Heup proves he likes gamers better if given the choice.

Heup would scheme and call the game differently for each QB, so blaming the O-line when Coop and T-Evans were out is not the right answer. Heup still chose the least accurate passer, his guy, to start the game and miss a zillion open receivers in the first quarter before getting hurt despite knowing Coop and Evans were out. So he used his least accurate passer when the run game was probably not going to be as effective without Coop and Evans. Not judging, that's just a fact. That tells me Milton is on target in practice, but not so much in games, and Heup thought the practice performance would carry over better into the game than it did. Now he knows - two games in a row to go with his Michigan history. So now there are no more excuses for when it turns out the way if he keeps Milton as his guy. I hope Milton gets it. But I'm not willing to sit and watch a #2 debacle again. I suspect there are a lot of us that feel that way.

Who was the gamer during JG’s years?

Evans yes. Small maybe. I’ve noticed too much hesitation in the hole from some of our RBs.

If Hooker keeps it he walks into end zone. Entire defense collapsed on the back.

Easy to second guess from my couch though

 

[franklinpence]

We had most penalties since 2000 today

In a very winnable game…….
