The Official #6 Tennessee vs. #7 Clemson Orange Bowl Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

This offense is not giving me hope for next year.

 

[twigsxx2]

Looks like Milton cannot make the decisive decisions needed to keep the drives going

 

[Vol8188]

Not capable of running read option. Slow to work thru progressions. Love the guy but a capable SEC QB he is not.

We don’t really ask guys to work through progressions in this offense. He’s perfectly capable of running read option, but even if he wasn’t, we barely run it

 

[tnvols72]

I’m sorry but Joe’s decision making is terrible. He just doesn’t have it between the ears and never will. Flame away.

Its Nico or bust next year

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Someone help me understand.

Is it Clemson’s defense, Joe Milton, or no more Golesh that’s the cause of this offensive mess? You can only choose one, not all three.

Joe, plenty of times he could have pulled it and got a 1st, or dumped it down for a 1st

 

[Through_The_T]

Joe has got to pull that down and run it. That was a first down if he ran…

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

So Milton had wide open field to run for first down and forces a throw to a covered Warren?

Shades of the Ole Miss ‘21 game in between his ears.

 

[Vols till I fall]

What is this play calling?

Playing to lose it seems
.let Joe launch the ball

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Why wouldn’t you run the ball???? … Joe the schmo

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

O
Line not buying Joe much time. He shoulda tucked and ran.

 

[vols 30]

Because he stares down the receiver so he’s easy to anticipate

He's been playing too long to still be doing this

 

[87&91ALUM]

Agree that Joe has wheels…use them. Hooker and Dobbs would have gotten a first down there.

 

[Gtown RNG]

Unfortunately it is all three as well as missing Hyatt and Tillman.

Not sure Hooker would have made that last throw.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

No it was a pass call but no one was open and he was scrambling due to blitz. Good defensive call by Clemson.

You’re right. Milton can’t think at all under a blitz.

 

[ButchPlz]

I'm so tired.

 

[VOL RN]

Both Os are so great to watch. Edge if your seat right here. No wonder McElroy is calling this game…it all is glorious - should be on ESPN2…or perhaps the fn Ocho.

 

[dhurt8955]

Between Milton and the play calling they look awful

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Someone help me understand.

Is it Clemson’s defense, Joe Milton, or no more Golesh that’s the cause of this offensive mess? You can only choose one, not all three.

Definitely Golesh leaving. He likes to run the ball. CJH play calling has been so inconsistent. 1 negative play, and it seems like he gives up.

 

[YankeeVol]

Milton was not good

FYP

 

[SmashMouth]

I think Milton is more concerned bout being a "Quarterback" then just feeling the game and winning...RUN

 

[VOLinAL]

Really need a turnover here.

 

[Ratvol]

3 and outs are killing us.

Go VOLS

 

[Caz]

6’4 240 pds and not running it there? God I miss Hendon.

 

[HighRockvol]

I was literally yelling at the tv. He’s such a big strong guy if he scrambles there he gets it.

Yes he’s scared to run it for some reason always has been

 

[ashleyyy]

we’re stalling bad
