The Official #10 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, SEC Network

[Cartervol]

May need to hit the portal for another QB next year if Nico can't start from day one..

 

[vol_smoothie]

Howitzer Joe Milton's passing game is like watching Nuke LaLouche from Bull Durham.
One throw is a strike across the middle and the next one hits the Mascot in the head.
We won't win a decent bowl game with this guy.

Is this what we have to look forward to next year ?

 

[Flipdaddy]

It’s very concerning that he can’t dial it back some, even on short throws.

 

[chuckb1448]

I don’t mind going for it, far from automatic FG. But damn. Don’t give it to small up the gut. Too predictable

But Vandy would have never guessed a run up the gut.... blue font by the way

 

[MurphyVol]

Weird play calls so far....lot of long low percentage throws and runs up the middle.

And all season, I've thought we have lacked strategic runs by the QB. Both and have made plays with their legs but they wait until someone almost has them in a headlock. The running lanes are there and have been all season.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Sir, this is a Wendy's Tennessee Volunteers message board.

I know...I didn't figure vandys DC is reading. I think we're safe.

 

[ArmchairQB]

I hope squirrel isn't dead

I thought he just about passed a hole through his torso.

 

[sonofUT62]

For everyone talking about paying Golesh a mint to keep him from taking another job. I vote for letting him go and spending the money on the D.

 

[VOL RN]

Yeah, after that 4th down call, I can comfortably say tonight’s play calling is far from the best of the year. Not loving it.

Yeah, they gotta call it for what Joe is, not what Hooker was. 10 yard curls, slants. We were all hopeful for his accuracy but it just isn’t there.

 

[Allvols1996]

Run blocking has sucked as well. Defense mysteriously appears. Offense now struggling

 

[Caz]

How about we try running off tackle…just a thought

We don’t realize yards can be gained from a sweep or to the edge. Just up the gut we go!

 

[vols40]

This game makes last week all the more frustrating.

It does. But let it go. We got a 5* commit this week

 

[615vols]

Offense is definitely not as much of a threat with Milton. I know he hasn’t been the starter so chemistry/timing and all that comes into play, but he’s just too inaccurate. Doesn’t seem like he makes good reads on pulling the ball vs giving either, but maybe they’re playing it safe due to qb depth.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Everyone on earth knew what the Vols were about to do there. Duh.

Even my 6 yr old

 

[tdd]

How far do you think Milton can throw if he puts everything into it?

Doesn’t matter if you can’t hit a bull in the ass. This isn’t longest throw in the world. You have to pinch and catch it sometimes. He drives CJH crazy. Crazy talent that doesn’t know how to play good offense.

 

[Switch 625]

Hyatt should be having a Heisman performance tonight, but Joe can’t keep it in the greater Nashville area.

 

[Volbrando]

Can someone check on that one receiver. I think Milton might have killed him on that short throw

 

[DocVol]

Real question: what’s the score if one-ACL-Hooker is playing right now?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

3 offsides in the 1st half?????

 

[Volnbeers]

3 offsides tonight?

 

[The Original Fade]

Nico will start next year. Coming in during the spring will help him. Milton can only throw deep

He looks good on slants too. He struggles with deep outs and go routes less than 40 yards

 

[aRmo]

Yep

Nope, this staff isnt gonna start a freshman. Not gonna happen.

 

[VolArmy74]

These off sides penalties are just absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Repohellbilly]

WTF is up with all these offsides calls

 

[ButchPlz]

That one wasn't offside.
