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

[TheMookieMonster]

Listened to the Fox Sports Knoxville halftime show on Twitter and if I didn’t know the score to the game I’d think this team was losing 31-0 to UTSA and not winning 31-0. Tons of negativity, lots of downing Milton’s performance, just a mess of pathetic fan attitudes.

At this point, I’m convinced that Milton could go 11-1 with this team and a good portion of our fans would be pissed simply because he isn’t 5-Star Nico. Nico better be the next Tua or Jalen Hurts next year or some in this fanbase are going to burn couches with the expectations on this kid.

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

Taking cues from the team apparently

It is because there's only so much you can do with a bunch of high school kids who aren't at your rehearsal every day.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

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

My point is he hasn’t been the problem. The offensive line clearly has.

WTH are you talking about? I bet you are the life of a party, NOT

 

[BigALWiLson]

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.

**** Bama and Kiffin with the big Ole Rammer Jammer trunk

 

[DaddyChad]

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.

Meh, he can lose to Carolina. Heupel won’t care; he thinks Milton is our best option.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

For practice.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Joe out for a few just to reassure us he’s okay.

But yeah, I’d like to see Nico get some reps in too

Oregon beating Colorado worse than we are smoking UTSA...pretty sure they play USC next week also.

Deions kid at QB is talented though. They might be shutout now, but the kid may be the best QB in the country honestly. Ball placement is ridiculous. Too bad his Oline is horrendous...

 

[Carp]

Joe missed 2 TD throws in the first half

He did. We also scored 31 points and he threw 2 of those. The last throw he definitely should have put more air under it, but Nimrod also slowed down mid route. You can see visibly see him speed up once he sees the ball in the air. Again, Joe needs to let his WRs run under it instead of showing off his arm, but the WRs deserve blame when it's due as well.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Math checks out.

WooHoo! Thanks, man! First time since long division.

My bad Dave. Didn’t realize bubble screens excited you this much.

I’m willing to Entertain that. They’ve certainly played poorly.

Sounds very familiar.

 

[captainsword]

I very rarely want Alabama to win. But Kiffin is one of the few exceptions.

Absolutely agree

 

[Pride85]

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.

You are right, I apologize. I did not mean to place you in the same category as the LOTM. Got caught up in the moment. Mea Culpa.

 

[teeball]

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

Heupel knows that they gave two away even if all the "experts" on here don't.

No. He’s not close to being the best QB in the country.

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!

Joe is the spoiled couch guru’s piñata

 

[VolDave53]

You must be watching some other game. . .

It’s like making me choose between getting burned alive or stretched on a rack.

Team dude. Joe has paid his dues and Nico is a great talent but he isn't ready for the SEC behind this line and lack of a defense.

All good brother. GBO

 

[CNCVol88]

Joe's played exceptionally well today. To say otherwise is to just absolutely disregard the body of work today and focus on a couple bad passes.
