Grateful for an ugly win.

Gotta give Milton credit. 17/20, 227, TD, no turnovers, and the game sealing first down on the ground. Had the one bad sack, but outside of that, he was really good.

 

[volfan411]

Joe Milton sucks!!! JK

2-1 was always my expectations in this 3 game stretch.

 

[jmacvols1]

receiver on the right sideline was open but Joe didn't see him?

Yep

 

[amstelman]

Once again an opposing QB picks our game to have his breakout performance of the season. At least we survived this one, this year.

 

[djohnnyg]

Vols 36-4 vs Kentucky last 40 years.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Is this sack Milton's fault or the o-line's fault?

I say yes…..to both

 

[Sea Ray]

Is this sack Milton's fault or the o-line's fault?

O line

 

[whodeycin85]

receiver on the right sideline was open but Joe didn't see him?

He was breaking open...Joe would have had to hurry the throw..cuz when he steps up.he is hit..he got pressure from the left and left center

Grateful for an ugly win.

There isn’t no ugly win on the road in the SEC!!!!

 

[Vol737]

I'm guessing, with our injuries and KY's very good D-line, that we kept our TEs in blocking way more than usual.

Very possible.

Grateful for an ugly win.

?????

Why is every win ugly? Wasn't anything ugly about the offense tonight. That's as well-balanced as we've been all season. There is never a win that isn't described as ugly on here.

The team that played today sold out to shutdown the sec’s leading rusher. They won’t be selling out to stop the run vs mizzou.

Exactly. Then we played zone to limit the big plays. That didn’t exactly work, but was good enough.

Missouri L
Kentucky L
Georgia L


Coach H will be on the hot seat next season.

Defense was rough at times and the game was closer than I would have liked, but it still doesn't excuse posts this dumb.

 

[RavinDave]

What's this? Tennessee beat Kentucky in football??? Surely, you jest.

Don’t call me Shirley

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Dude, we won. Celebrate. We’ll cross the UGA bridge when that week comes.

I am happy for win but also see the reality of the team at this point

 

[Majors]

Is this sack Milton's fault or the o-line's fault?

100% on Spraggins giving being a matador

 

[Nkyvolfan]

Me too unfortunately…but Monday at work is going to be a great day!

Why wait? I’m talking smack at church tomorrow!!

 

[Carp]

Is this sack Milton's fault or the o-line's fault?

Not really much ope. Looked like Keyton was started to come open and maybe Milton should have anticipated that. But that play is at least 90% on the OL.

It wasn’t ugly but it was nerve wracking.

Neither.
That one’s on the secondary.

The ball has got to come out quicker, a lot of good qb's hit the receiver on their break or throw thereceiver open. On that play Milton held the ball too long.

 

[NetworkVol]

479 yds of offense, 230 passing/249 rushing...and we held the SEC rushing leader to 42yds. The game plan worked.

 

[BigALWiLson]

receiver on the right sideline was open but Joe didn't see him?

Not sure many could with pressure in your face. Then getting swallowed up back side

The reality for the team is that we just won the game on a 10 second runoff. Somewhere ole Dooley has to be smilin'....
