Milton made one bad throw and clearly struggles to take some off the fastball

God gave Milton a Howitzer attached to his shoulder. Too strong

He's got another year to fix it lol

 

[nashvol1]

Funny y'all giving Hooker first game grace throwing high all night, but Milton throws a hot ball and he's unfixable? He went the length of the field first possession.

Kinda thought this too. Hooker was off

 

[BearCat204]

Obviously, but shouldn’t it be half the distance to the goal and a first since it is technically a five yard penalty?

Dont think it works like that, but I dunno

Yet he made 2 really good throws. The slant to Holiday would have been a TD if not for PI. Milton has talent.

Milton throws it hard, but that TE drifted too far inside and made the catch harder on himself. Don’t think I’d put that one on Joe honestly.

Yep. Some people have their mind made up about Milton and nothing he does will change it.

Now remember at the first of the game before the first play, the Vandy QB announcer said that Ball State QB will give UT all it can handle. LOL Just like a Candy QB. That's the only level of talent they can relate to.

Glad we didn't GA State this thing.

True. He could have taken a little off it though.

So they replaced their most important offensive player and a lot on o line.

Just because one player was replaced? Hooker was new for us last year. Their OL is a bit younger but guys who played since 2020. It’s not a total rebuild.

Audio cut out at UTSports.com, so no radio broadcast. Pretty frustrating.

Different coaching staff. Those days are over.

Do we see Tayven in the 4th?

 

[voltn21]

I have zero issue with Milton throwing fastballs into the end zone. Heck Bret Farve used to break fingers.

But he was so wide open. Just toss it up is all he had to do. I mean nobody near the TE

 

[BearCat204]

I think Milton is fine. Think we are very fortunate to have him backing up Hooker.

 

[Orange Studs]

I would love to see him but I bet Joe gets a lot of snaps

 

[BearCat204]

To be fair, the TE probably should have caught that ball.

I mean it’s the first game. This is very normal. It’s actually not normal to score 40+ in the first half of the first game. We are doing great

Maybe he is taking something off it.

228 passing against ball state in the 3rd and they are 50% on 3rd down

 

[SoilVol]

The throw over the middle wasn't terrible. A little high, but right through both hands of the TE. Got to catch that.

Otherwise, Milton looked great on that drive. Great throws. Great decision making. Looked calm and looked like he was having fun. Good to see.

 

[csprig9]

TE should’ve caught that

 

[csprig9]

Damn
Look at number 4 make a play lol
