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

[TheFlash1971]

Milton has a very strong arm , but he is missing that it factor that Hooker had.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Once again, offense starts good, terrible holding call and Milton can't throw ball away,. Giving Clemson too many opportunities, I do not think that if Clemson gets a lead, TN can overcome it. Defense is going to have to win this one

 

[give_him 6]

7 punts and 80 yards in penalties.

The record for punts in a game is 36 - Texas Tech.

 

[SmashMouth]

as a Quarterback, throwing the ball....throw it out of bounds....cross Keyton off your list...he will not catch it... Hyatt is gone

 

[rocketskates]

why did we stop doing what was working?

Right. The slants and wheel routes were working. Not sure why we are changing things up. I honestly feel like another TD could win this game the way it’s going.

 

[tdd]

Another ******** penalty ruins a drive. Thanks ref’s

Carvin strikes again

 

[MurphyVol]

Is Sampson healthy? Need to find some kind of spark on O

 

[VOLFan65]

Milton has been pretty darn accurate tonight. Haven’t seen an overthrown ball yet. O Line has to give him time. They’ve been getting whipped all night.

 

[chuckb1448]

Wasted possession after wasted possession. Guess we're just counting on the D to win it.

Clemson will get in pay dirt eventually, we have Got to do better on Offense

 

[RAVOL]

That tactical holding call. Well done officiating crew. Let the Klubnik slurpfest recommence.

Yes holding that happens every play . Before I completely hammer Joe we are definitely missing our 2 Stud receivers. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Why are y'all mad at Milton on that one? We didn't have a single downfield route there. He literally had no one to throw to.

Not covered guys, zero guys.

Throw it away maybe?

I’m a fan of a draw or screen on 3rd and 20+ when the game isn’t on the line. So play caller error there too

 

[BJSforVols]

He got flushed left but had nobody out there. That’s Clemson’s defense.

Should have at least ran it for positive yardage and see if something happens. The had 7 in coverage, so he would have been passed most any defender that wasn't downfield in coverage once he crossed the line of scrimmage.

 

[posivol]

why no deep routes...joe had no one open..keyton having a really bad game

 

[Frozevol]

Penalty killed that drive

So true. We bust a run and a dubious hold kills it . Where are these refs from?

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

If we can win this game, it’ll be a miracle.

 

[Vol8188]

The kid just can’t get it. Flashes of Guarantano

Dumb.

 

[PA Vol]

Honestly with the year Hooker had, we should’ve just put up a huge “QB VACANCY” sign on Neyland for anyone in the portal. Nobody worth their salt should be afraid of Joe Milton and the staff shouldn’t be scared of him leaving. Joe is a great human being but he just doesn’t have “it”.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

That seems to be the real problem. They aren’t getting the separation. Milton had no one to throw to on that last play.

No one open cause we r not even trying tun ball we been one dimensional all game

 

[The Tall Gguy]

We are playing with 1.5 arms tied behind our back

1 for players opting out because they don't care about Tennessee. And 0.5 for piss poor officiating

 

[BreatheUT]

Clemson may be banking on all or nothing out of our offense at this point.

 

[Volsfannn]

Jarrett milton?

 

[Lekvolrrah]

Play calling man

 

[volsforever27]

On the tipped pass looked like Squirrel was open. Never saw it. Looked that way on TV at least.

 

[DB1995]

I was just thinking, to an unbiased viewer this game probably sucks major ass and is horribly boring

 

[CR-vol]

We can't move the sticks. Clemson's gonna score a TD or 2 at some point. We'll be fortunate to sneak out of here with a win.
