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

[Drewbydoo]

Thanks for clarifying you weren’t joking because it sure seems like you were joking.

are you going to dispute what I said about how many quarters we won or lost?

How many different team sports have you played? How many play books have you studied, not just looked at, but studied? Do you have any notion, what so ever, of the total information a coach has on his team that fans don't have access to?

Instead, you're just mad about 15 minutes of poor play. Look at each half and then look at each quarter. In fact rewatch the full game objectively on youtube once it's uploaded on youtube.

How the vols played in the second quarter is the difference. Because of that you don't throw out the qb, coach and playbook you've been working on since last spring. Think long term what would happen to the Vols ability to recruit a top qb if you got rid of milton or the coach or the playbook because of one bad quarter. It takes years to put together an exceptional college football program, (not team, program) and soooo many people here want to just blow that up. Those people are worse than any opponent the Vols would ever face - that's why .... it won't happen. If it did, the vols won't have a good football team for well over a decade because no one with any real world experience in football would never play in Tennessee.

Again, I'm not even a sunshiny type of fan, it's just how football actually works.

Based on all the picks he threw at Wisconsin anytime he got pressured.

The dude rarely made a bad pass and made some nice passes tonight. He was really good.

 

[jhcrane14]

Do you think any players will be suspended after the end game scuffle?

 

[Big Orange in Bama]

Florida could lose to Georgia, and perhaps to Kentucky and South Carolina. We regroup, make the necessary changes, and we could still have a decent season. Setting the bar at the playoffs Is a recipe for disappointment.

 

[AlphaVOL]

So frustrating...the SEC on both sides of the conference have not been this weak in quite some time and we manage to **** the bed again

 

[Gladiator1]

Bad take on me but I'd rather get beat with a freshman learning the game than an old man never getting better

 

[NO SIR EEE]

He wasn’t down. If he wants to roll out then he can take the hit.

You’re wasting your breath. You’re gonna get attacked by Vol fans who are defending Gator players

 

[Lankykong]

All things considered, staff made good adjustments second half. I was fuming about them first half. Refs ****ed us hard second half. Not sure if we did enough to win but they made sure we didn’t have a chance.

this is my take exactly

 

[Dergibvol]

It'll be interesting to hear what they say.i still think Hadden not making that tackle and then banks refusing to blitz on 3rd and longs took it out of this team in the 2nd q

 

[patrick]

Vols got dragged by an average Fl team.

More losses coming with Bazooka Joe at QB.

 

[VAVol85]

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

Pretty hard to know whether the QB was the problem without downfield camera angles. If receivers were open and Joe didn’t throw to them, that’s on him. From what I saw the receivers looked like they took short routes or appeared to be running in sand (with a few exceptions).

Big disappointment to me was our OL. I had high hopes but they were really bad.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Obviously we have a thug culture. **** timeout call by the head coach. Late hit when a qb is taking a knee. Trying to fight. All the **** we give other teams is us. We are no different.

There was nothing classless about that.

Good grief.

 

[stolitonic]

If that was Hooker, we'd want the Florida defender arrested.

Well, it wasn't Hooker was it?

I never claimed to be consistent lol. What happens to the bad guys is what happens.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Hey folks, It's Miltons last year. Y'all be kind. Then it's Nico time

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

He wasn’t down. If he wants to roll out then he can take the hit.

Its a **** move by a poorly coached team. No discipline. No culture.

 

[vol94]

Hueple called a TO with a few seconds left. The game was decided. Fight with players insude

Just another head scratcher. FYI, Colorado QB Sanders, and team have have played well w a new roster.

Something tells me we may lose some recruits if things don’t change quickly. Boo Carter, etc.

 

[Powder and shot]

Circling the drain...like a big Baby Ruth

 

[OrangeWave2]

Milton is not SEC caliber QB material and Tim Banks needs to be fired

 

[Vawlranger88]

There is always next year.

Or basketball season

 

[RDU VOL#14]

No they’re not actually. Look at how much Wright improved with Ellerbee over Friend. Good try though.

My point is that talented players make good coaches look even better. And I think any coach would agree w/ that.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Screw Hype. Last year was pure luck with a Heisman qb. Send his ass back to ucf. Terrible coach

 

[Volontario]

Hate to say it. When we promoted a GA to offensive coordinator I didn’t feel
Good about it. Also retaining Martinez again told me we would have poor secondary play. We make bad quarterbacks look like heismans when he coaches .

^This

 

[Dergibvol]

He wasn’t down. If he wants to roll out then he can take the hit.

Billy should've punted and not put his team in that position. But that doesn't fit the narrative that half those in hear just want to be miserable and Tennessee is garbage. The team was soft in the first half. Played much better he second.

 

[Other_Guy]

Milton is not SEC caliber QB material and Tim Banks needs to be fired

Surely this puts the debate about banks to rest.

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

There was nothing classless about that.

Good grief.

And Jermaine Burton was scared for his safety.
