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

[CAVPUT]

I'm surprised, but VUs QB can't throw the ball. He's a good athlete but if he can't throw the ball down the field that helps a terrible Secondary out tremendously

They're nuts if they don't either run that qb a helluva lot more in the second half or put the passer in the game and go after our secondary.

 

[Flipdaddy]

Milton still has no touch on his throws.

Yeah he hasn’t fixed it. If he could just release a little higher. It’s unbelievable how strong his arm is but accuracy. Jamarcus Russell was strong like that but way more accurate.

 

[Vol865]

Well, not the worst half in the world, but certainly not the best either. Don’t think he’s good enough to lead this team to a title next year. Big arm, but that’s about it. We need Nico to be the real deal.

If this is the Milton we get next year (probably because nothing has changed), we're 7-5. I'm legit worried about the bowl game this year.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Not really. Could have been excessive celebration. Hope they tell him to cut that out.

But it wasn't. Thats why we can all laugh about it.

 

[first time caller]

Dude give it up. Bammer isn't going to the playoffs with 2 losses! Georgia, TCU Michigan and Ohio State.

Guess that loss last week didn't knock us out of playoffs after all, cause it's looking like it didn't matter

 

[captainsword]

Like how can that possibly be? We dropped to 5 after UGA game.

There were fewer one-loss teams when we lost than there are now. There are more two-loss teams in the top ten now.

 

[VOL RN]

If Hooker was back there, we'd have 35 to 42 points at a minimum right now. Milton has killed several offensive drives and allowed Candy to keep playing their game plan.

Ain’t that bout a b-tch? Defense looking stout but Milton back to his old games. Inaccurate games. 15 yards ahead of the receive games. Ok I’m done.

 

[Voltopia]

I really wish I could have a sit down lunch with all the posters who gave me grief when I said that Milton didn't look any different than he did last year. "What about those two throws against Missouri." "He's had a year in the system." "You're just hating on Milton, don't be so negative." Yeah. Yeah, I'd really enjoy that lunch.

 

[nomads-11]

If I'm the staff I'm gonna have to adjust to Milton. Roll outs (his last pass was on target, just deflected, but beautiful), crossing patterns - short and long, bubble screens to the edge, comeback routes, hooks and maybe back shoulder throws. All things that take advantage of arm strength. If you force him into the system, vs adjusting to him, your ppg going to drop like rain. IMO.

 

[DrTNT]

Anybody else notice even w/ 3 starting DB’s out tonight, how much better the D is playing w/ Banks on the field?? Not sure what happened last week, but I will maintain whatever it was, it cost us a playoff spot.

 

[90 Vol]

Like how can that possibly be? We dropped to 5 after UGA game.

Because the CFP rankings are a complete fraud. LSU and Alabama shouldn’t be ranked ahead of us.

 

[Switch 625]

Announcers calling for "layup throws" for Milton. Do they realize that's 35-45 yards?

Milton should line up like a punter. He might be on target then.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Joe is a one and a half trick pony. He can throw it a mile and run over a DB.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Like how can that possibly be? We dropped to 5 after UGA game.

Because the media fellates them

 

[Volfan2012]

Couple more touchdowns should wrap this one up if we can get two more touchdowns.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

That is the most depressing looking band I have ever seen.

Being at a football game is probably detention for them

 

[BJSforVols]

Like how can that possibly be? We dropped to 5 after UGA game.

Everyone is losing. When we lost, we were the only one losing.

 

[CAVPUT]

Milton is who we thought

Yep. Folks looked at his mop up duty and thought he'd become a new guy back there. This is the same Milton we saw before.

 

[vol94]

With Hooker, it would've been. With Milton, play it safe

I thought I was watching the Steelers two min offense just now.

 

[VOLifornia]

I’m like if Milton ever gets a one second pause before he throws to assist the missiles, and he takes advantage of the runs in the RPO he can skull drag a few opponents we are CFB bound!

 

[captainsword]

I'm surprised, but VUs QB can't throw the ball. He's a good athlete but if he can't throw the ball down the field that helps a terrible Secondary out tremendously

Isn’t their other QB a better passer? Surprised he hasn’t played yet.

 

[Orange931]

Rain has not been the reason our points are lower than normal.

It sure as hell don’t help

 

[FlVols]

Anybody else notice even w/ 3 starting DB’s out tonight, how much better the D is playing w/ Banks on the field?? Not sure what happened last week, but I will maintain whatever it was, it cost us a playoff spot.

I sure do and I agree

 

[BigALWiLson]

I think Milton has checked off on a few play calls

He gets calls from the sideline. He isnt Hooker

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Terrible play calling tonight by Heupel

I can’t complain about play calling. Execution is a different feeling. If you run Milton and he gets hurt, we are in really dee trouble the rest of the season.
