The Official #11/#9 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Pennheel]

Well,this place should be interesting for the next few days until the knee-jerk reactions die down and the calling for Huepel to be "fahred" ease up. Milton just isn't the guy for this system,and it is really obvious. They had to slow down the offense too much,and it still didn't matter. The D did well and made Florida look below average late(like they are) ,but if Milton is airing deepballs 10 yards past his receivers when the game is on the line,what does it matter? The terrible calls against them certainly didn't help an otherwise horrible outing.

 

[HiltonHeadVol]

Where is Tennessee ranked on Monday?

between APeay and Virginia?

 

[Vol737]

If true, and it probably is, then UT is a 7 win team

That’s my guess.

 

[butler5]

Hadden ready to fight after the game, but No Fight during.......

 

[BigALWiLson]

Yes he did flordia call the timeout on the XP… idiot.

I wasnt actually talking to yall screaming at my tv...... when did they credit it back ? Cause if we had one couldnt we have used it earlier on the 4th down call ? Horse sh1t just mad like everyone else

 

[RavinDave]

Congratulations, Vols! You just saved Napier’s job.

Yeah Buzzcut Billy will live to coach another year.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Pathetic on coach. Sorry, lose with some class because we didn’t have anything else tonight.

Putting a lot of guys at risk for petty points right there.

 

[LadyVolette]

I hope that ends haddens career at UT.

I missed it.. did he swing at someone?

 

[YankeeVol]

What do you mean?

I’m just upset. I apologize.

You’re good people

 

[Dergibvol]

Y'all sit here and blame heupel for that. He used that TO because Napier used his own 3rd down. You can just as easily blame billy for not punting.

 

[patrick]

Yep. Said it all week. We saw the team we were going to see all season last week.

And anyone who dared offer any criticism of the Vols was, once again, shouted down - skewered - ridiculed - flamed - etc. I have never, and will never understand, Vol fans that worship whatever slop (and tonight was slop) that Tennessee puts out there.

Milton has not improved - you can’t fix a lack of touch and inability to read defenses (move thru progressions)

 

[djwes]

Numbers don't lie. We literally lost one quarter. We outscored FL every quarter except the 2nd quarter. Calm down. They sky only fell for 15 minutes. SOOOOO many of you are showing your ignorance of playing or even watching a team sport.

Thank you Freak for including an ignore button that is easy to access. Not joking.

I don’t know what game you watched but that entire game was a freaking dumpster fire.

The officiating was poor, but Tennessee lost the game by being undisciplined.

Stats don’t win a game sparky

 

[orchidvol]

This is the only the second game (other being the USCjr embarrassment) since Heupel has been here that's a real disappointment. And it happened against Napier, a moron who will be fired by the end of the year or early next year. It doesn't help that it happened against the most disgusting program and trashy fanbase in college sports. The team didn't play smart against a low-talent Florida team that probably won't win many more games this season. Classic Tennessee / Florida.

 

[hardyemt_p]

WTF did I just witness?

Nothing you haven't seen for the last 22 years

 

[PC Jr.]

Mertz didn't get his knee down. Fair play. #54 took a swing at our player. He should be ejected next game.

He was going down, which is 15. And both players swung (I’m pretty sure). Either way the both squared up with fists up. Ridiculous.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

What do you mean?

Don’t take anything anyone says seriously right now. Everyone’s pissed off enjoy the time you have with your dad and have fun at the game

 

[irish1485]

Whoever the QB is moving forward ( I think it'll still be JM) we gotta throw the ball down the field from the start. Mixing bubble screens in is fine but you cant rely on them and expect to have success.

 

[gameday]

Congratulations, Vols! You just saved Napier’s job.

Just makes me sick to my stomach to see Joe Milton smiling and laughing while we get embarrassed during the game. Never seen anything like it. He is not a leader of this football team.

 

[vols 30]

I wish I could quit sports and just watch westerns. I might try that.

The guys out there that never got into team sports lead stress free lives

 

[Lankykong]

Bad decision on calling the TO at the end. Then the hit on the QB who was giving himself up. Now swings were made and suspensions are coming. Total lack of composure.

He ran away, wasn’t even down yet. What if he fake kneels?

 

[jmacvols1]

I miss that hooker

Very winnable game with Hooker.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

20-34 287 yards 2 tds 1 int…. And you think the quarterback is the problem? Smdh

You really don’t understand football do you. Smdh if you say joe Milton is a good qb or in public you’ll be laughed at for not knowing a damn thing

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I already bought plane tickets this past December and game tickets 2 months ago lol. First game I’m attending with my dad who happens to have cancer. Any other suggestions?

Well considering I know nothing about your life, I guess you should go.

 

[C-south]

Milton is not the reason we lost. Your approach is getting old. This OL is horrible right now and D line got pushed around

So we fix one problem or at least build for the future. Joe is a terrible passer and game manager.

 

[NOLAPhil]

I missed it.. did he swing at someone?

Yep...he and the fla player squared up. Kamal threw the first punch.
