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

[Unconditional Surrender]

The fact that Vanderbilt didn't come out firing deep balls is pretty stupid on their part.

But they are Vandy.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

If I'm the staff I'm gonna have to adjust to Milton.

Well, the rules clearly state that the QB and the receivers have to play in the same stadium.

I think Tennessee in 2023 will be 10-2 at best and 9-3 at worst. Damn Negavols are freaking tiring!View attachment 518431

So we’re going to lose our two best receivers, get Bama and UF on the road, have a QB that can’t complete intermediate routes, and also isn’t a willing runner……..and have basically the same record as this year???

 

[first time caller]

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.

Good..glad yer done.

 

[vol_smoothie]

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

What are you guys watching ?

He can't hit a deep route less than 40 or over 40 .......... zero touch, just throws it over their heads.
If he hasn't figured it out by now, after 2 seasons of work under good QB coaching, it ain't gonna happen.

If we didn’t get our @$$ beat by SC

We have the same record as LSU and Bama. We beat both head to head. They shouldn’t be ranked ahead of us.

 

[Memphisvol87]

This game plan on offense is surprisingly awful. Not playing to Milton’s strength and trying to continually force a deep ball.

I mean that is possible but I am going with 8-4 for the moment.

Key will be winning @ the Swamp. If we win that game, it could set Tennessee up for another great season. If they lose it, expect an 8-4 or 7-5 type season.

 

[Halph66]

WTF is this Mexican bullfight music Candy plays? Weirdos.

Our players should start dancing every time they play it.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

21-0 and this thread is mostly made up of Milton bashing.

Never change VN.

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Argued with a guy on FB this week telling me Milton was "3x the QB Hooker is" and that the offense would be "way better" with him.

Joe is a very gifted kid, but just no. He'll get us this W, though.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

My client appreciates the outpouring of support in this thread.

Because you laid one of the biggest turds I've ever seen against georgia.

So, you got Traven or Nico starting as QB1 from game 1. Got it!

 

[Volfan2012]

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see a QB transfer in. Looks to me like the job is wide open next season don't see Milton as the front runner at all.

 

[Jeff Clark]

I’ll say it now. This bowl game is gonna be fruuuustrating

I'll say it now Tennessee will win their Bowl Game and the Negavols will be bitching about style points and not winning pretty.

 

[Voltopia]

So much of our offense is based on the QB making good reads post snap. RPOs but also going through progressions in passing game, Milton is going to the 9 route too much. He has the middle open but seems locked in on the long ball. That cannon works great on the WR screens though. Just keep throwing that, Vandy playing soft, take the 5 yards and move the chains

Not to mention the impact making those throws has on the defense. Heupel's system is built to draw attention and then attack the defense elsewhere, and a number of those awesome plays we saw earlier in the season came from those misdirections. You can't create those conditions if your passes are all 50 yard chucks to a fade route.

CJH will look into the portal for another Qb. Lamalevla (hope I got that right) needs to be redshirted.

I hope everyone bitchn about playcalling reads this ^

 

[vol94]

He gets calls from the sideline. He isnt Hooker

He is allowed to ck off

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I don't care about all the physical tools Joe has, he can't pass with accuracy. Good back up to have, not a starter. He's had plenty of time to prove himself.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Any chance Traven Jackson can win out the QB1 spot next spring and give Nico a year or two to get some size on him. Jackson was a 4 star recruit, correct?

Nico needs two years to gain weight????

If not his big arm, what is his strength?

 

[VOLanooga]

Give Navy and Gaston each a series in the 2H. I mean, maybe one of them can complete a pass under 20 yards without breaking our WR’s fingers.

Great post. Imo Milton should be keeping the ball more (20%) considering his size, running ability, weather conditions, etc.
