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

[Pride85]

For those who have complained all game. We are now up 21-6. That means we are WINNING. Don't make me break out the cattleprod.

 

[Gandalf]

Man as much as they sucked at Scar, the defense is playing lights out!

You can’t convince me otherwise that the reason we missed the playoffs falls on Jeremy Banks

 

[vols 30]

A stop here and another score would be nice

 

[RDU VOL#14]

One thing is for certain going forward w/ Milton as QB… We have to be able to run the ball. Heavy run next year.

 

[ButchPlz]

Wait, the EE are able to travel for the bowl game? Just saw Leacock on the sideline.

Yep, Nico has been visible all game and in some of the promos.

 

[captainsword]

Squirrel’s little dance after the TD was hilarious!

Surprised he didn’t get a penalty.

 

[tim]

Dumb.

He’s not dumb. He graduated from UM in 3 ish years.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Milton is it

 

[Voltopia]

These are the throws that puzzle me with Milton. He will have some horrific plays then turn around and throw some of the best passes I’ve ever seen

He's inconsistent and struggles to control his touch on passes. It's not that he can't make them. He can. He just struggles with being consistent. He'll give you big plays, for sure. But it's the consistency that becomes the challenge. And consistency is something you really need for quarterback play - and planning offensive schemes around them.

I love my Vols.
but , I hate these fake injuries on almost EVERY EXTRA POINT.
why do we do this shite?

Because the defense need a rest somehow

 

[tntornadox]

Brooks is the worst punter we’ve had since I’ve been a fan. Where’s a colquitt when ya need em??

Surely there's another Colquitt kid coming up? Has to be... haha

Nico is on the sideline too

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

 

[OldVolMan]

I really want Milton to make it, but damn it is feast or famine with him.

 

[IncognitoVawl]

I like we have an "injury" after each extra point. Works well to rest the defense

 

[mpfvol]

The Special teams struggling this year as well as DBs

 

[DuckInAPen]

Genius!

 

[JMSqb11]

Cade Klubnick, Cade Klubnick but then again Cade Klubnick or maybe Cade Klubnick...Just summing the game so far....Oh yea...Cade Klubnick

He’s a true freshman playing a team with equal or more talent than ACC is accustomed to outside of Clemson. Plenty of reason to be high on this kid’s future.

 

[RabunRaven]

Through three quarters Joe's completed 67% of his passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns. How terrible.

 

[Bryan1]

If your not gonna kick it though the endzone why do ya keep kicking it to Shipley?

 

[patrick]

Looking fine to me right now. Part of the issue tonight has been zero running game, at least until that drive. I promise you Milton will start game 1 next year so you might as well get used to the idea.

Whatever. Milton lost his job twice. I have hoped that he would have figured it out but going into his 6th yr he is the sane guy who lost his job twice.

Next year will be a very long year with Milton under center. But ok. You know better than multi million dollar coaches. Heupel hoping Milton gets it’s but truth is Milton isn’t getting it.

 

[joevol33]

A pick 6 would be sweet

 

[VolBricks]

Who? Shipley is the only guy that keeps getting the ball

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Wait, the EE are able to travel for the bowl game? Just saw Leacock on the sideline.

They’ve been practicing with the team.

This is a white squirrel that lives in my yard I named Lucky a few years ago (since the hawks somehow hadn’t gotten to him ) and now I think he was a good omen of Squirrel White coming to help my Vols receiving corp and leave his mark!
