The Official #23/20 Tennessee vs. UTSA, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Bollweevil]

Nico needs to stay on the sideline until we get some kind cohesion amongst this offensive line. I bet his knee isn't as tough as Joe's seems to be.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

People still complaining about Joe after that half? Wow. It's gotten to a ridiculous point. It's turned into perfection. If he's not perfect, there will be complaining.

I do not want Nico to start at all but when a man is 10 yards behind you the throw doesn't have to be a dime. Make him stop and catch it if you need to, it doesn't have to be perfect.
I think Joe would tell you himself, he missed 2 open TD throws and that doesn't mean Nico needs to play

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

No offense to anyone associated, but this feels like a mailed in halftime show from the band.

 

[rocketskates]

Yeah actually he is. Only your type would complain. Did you notice the score. In case you didn't notice he also has 89 yards rushing in the first half. LOTM UNITE!

You may want to go back and re-read my quote to your original post (the one that I liked) and you would see that I was agreeing with you. Man some of you literally sit and wait for the opportunity to lose your minds on someone lol.

At that pace, we're gonna miss 34 more touchdowns this season.
That means we could lose to Vandy by 238 points!

 

[BradstarVols]

I’m not complaining. But there’s some discussion of the handful of missed throws. I’m not gonna deny that they happened just because I wish they hadn’t

I can think of games when Hooker had numerous missed throws, mainly high, and I don't remember that much complaining.

 

[OrangeTsar]

It looked like Joe got kneed on the inside of the upper thigh to me. That makes your leg jump like it's going to cramp when the muscles get pushed apart but he jumped up, didn't limp, nothing.

Try it. Let a kid step on the inside of your thigh. It's a dang weird feeling.

Trainers will evaluate it at the half

Joe missed 2 TD throws in the first half

Yeah, must have missed those plays. A reminder to you All American Couch Potato3s, no QB hits 100%, much less 80% of their throws. He's been solid. Took care of the ball and moved the offense down the field. Keyton had a TD, but the CB played the ball well. I'm happy with Milton's 1st half.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

No he shouldn't, go watch it again. A dive would have done NO good with the pass being high and towards the out of bounds line. ObJ could have dove and wouldn't have caught that pass. The other play he was not held, just a bad throw.

Dang, all the smart guys I know have always told me you have to get the ball at it's highest point. Have to get off the ground to do that.

 

[YankeeVol]

OR an under ran route. Staff will know.... the rest of us not so much.

I‘m not a Joe hater.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Because he is exceptional and they don’t want the Vol world to know Nico is better.

 

[BigOrangeD]

They won’t shut up until Nico plays

Yes, play Nico.

 

[zeppelin128]

Hmm up 31 to 0 and still people complain.

 

[GordonC]

Don’t put Nico in if we’re going to run 80% of the time second half.

Let me get this straight.
We are up 31-0, averaging over 8 yards per carry (discounting the 81-yard run).
And you want to put Nico in there to throw it?

 

[volmanNC]

It seems from Heupel comments he was not happy with the last few series.

Should be 45-0 AT LEAST

 

[Pride85]

So, for the rest of the time that Joe Milton misses on a throw, it will be grounds for him to be ceaselessly criticized? Did you know that Hendon Hooker had 100 incompletions? Does that lessen his stature? I get really tired of the whiners on this site act as if they know more than the coaching staff. The team has gotten ticked off and are now playing like they could have all season. This has been a very productive week of practice this week. Of we play like this next weekend, the shades might just get stomped upon!

 

[DaddyChad]

I'm not ready to get too excited about Milton. Some good throws and bad throws. Same Joe. This against UTSA.

I want Joe to succeed but coach needs to get some reps to Nico and bring him along.

Pretty much what you’re going to get out of Milton at this point. Our defense needed to be better this year than last to have a great year and it’s just not. Milton was never going to carry the offense anyways like Hooker could. Add to that our Oline isn’t very good.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

We are up big, Deion is down big so the only thing wrong with today is I have to be happy with Bama on top of the other narcissist at ole miss.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Agreed but he missed squirrel open in the end zone and nimrod running 10 yards behind his man. Doesn't mean he's playing bad, he's not but I bet Joe would tell you that he missed 2 open guys-not covered

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Milton’s stat line through only 2 quarters. How is this not good enough?

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Math checks out.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Joe is what he is. UTSA doesn’t change that and Florida is what we didn’t want him to be. He’s not going to miraculously run the table for us. South Carolina is a must win for him. We lose that and we start playing for next year.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Let me get this straight.
We are up 31-0, averaging over 8 yards per carry (discounting the 81-yard run).
And you want to put Nico in there to throw it?

For practice.

You’re picking a choosing. When he does this against an SEC team it’ll be good enough.
