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

[Gtown RNG]

It’s time for the bi-polar VOLS to come out of the woodwork.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Joe has played better from the vandy game, the lack of running is frustrating but understandable...literally no one behind him tonight. Keyton and his drops were killer. Feels like 2001 with a score this low and feeling good.

 

[VolBricks]

you must be watching a different game, Clemson has spent the entire game on the TN side of the 50.

 

[TheDirector]

He was a top 200 player on 247.

His offer list was also way better than his ranking

 

[jaguinn5]

Me watching this offense with Joe Milton. I've never been more confused by a Quarterback. He has had 3 or 4 amazing throws in this game, and he has made 3 or 4 inexplicably bad decisions...and in between is just "meh". Is this what next year is going to be?

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

We seriously need a kicker

We've had some in the past that kept us in games.

 

[Daytonohiovol]

That's nuts!

Haha good one

 

[Megatron88]

Sure do miss those Cafegos and Colquitts

We could use one of those right now

 

[volbound1700]

We're bending. Not breaking.

Clemson's offense strategy (not necessarily play calling) has played into our hands. They haven't been aggressive enough and I think that hasn't developed confidence with their QB and offense.

 

[Volbrando]

It’s a good thing Clemson sucks cause with our mid season team we’d have fiddy by now

 

[VolArmy74]

So I will say this…he’s not Hendon, but Milton has done enough to win this game so far. Two touchdowns, no turnovers. Needs to work on decision making but the accuracy has gotten better. On paper this clemson defense is full of 4 and 5 stars as well, I know they blew the Notre dame and South Carolina games, but on paper I’d say they are the third best team we’ve played this season after Georgia and Bama.

They are 5th overall on the talent composite with one of the best coaches in college football and their talent is concentrated towards the defensive side. This is an impressive performance on both sides of the ball. If our defensive backs looked at the ball, we would probably have two interceptions and Clemson only 3 points.

 

[VolDave53]

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.

Just how much do you make analysing football talent. What is your risk of error? Yeah, I thought so.

 

[captainsword]

Time for a turnover

 

[wmcovol]

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

He looked better when the run game started. Funny how that works

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

We're going to need another score to win. They are going to start throwing and we are going to give up a couple of scores

 

[hUTch2002]

You’re the one saying to bench Milton genius so apparently you think you know better than the coaches. And you question the intelligence of others. Hilarious.

Wtf are you talking about? Joe has been playing well.

 

[Switch 625]

injury and TV timeout helping our D

And end of quarter

 

[TENNESSEESLIM]

I just don't think it has set in with people how special Hendon really is. Milton is having a good game. But Hendon had a master's control of this offense and his ability to make the right decisions quickly is truly elite. If Milton can do what he's doing tonight consistently we will have a great season. He's never going to be Hendon. And it's unfair to expect it.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon D…pressure and get tight on those slants and quick outs

 

[YankeeVol]

 

[Volnbeers]

How do you get the “3rd and short” sign holder job

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Yep agree. Know I’m supposed to be SEC loyal but glad Florida and USCjr lost.

I’d like to see Miss St win their bowl for Leach but that’s about it

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Run clock, run

 

[Jdw2920]

Beasley needs to play like this all
Next year.
