The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Austin Peay Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

[GUNTERSVOL]

Why?? We're pathetic today,?

Keep your head up, it is always possible you new age LOMs can improve your character. Players can get better too. Hope springs eternal.

Stop with the drops. His throws were terrible. The “if you can touch it you can catch it” line of thinking is just ignorant horse . He made a couple good throws all night.

No....I dont think I will.

Thanks for the suggestion however.

I called out a couple of bad passes in the thread that hit guys in the hands that were bad passes by Milton. He winged one high to I think it was White early over the middle that was bad.

There were also several ugly drops however.

It's not mutually exclusive that it all has to be the QBs fault or the WRs fault anywhere other than your head.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

We needed to completely dominate this game for several reasons

Not really. These games really have nothing to do with the ones coming up. We need to show out against Florida period.

 

[Lars]

Last week, Austin Peay lost 49-23 to Southern Illinois. Our team appears to be over-rated.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Opening line; Tennessee is favored by 7 at Florida.

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

Hate to break it to you, but he ain’t getting it corrected

He's had many years and still hasn't been punched in the gut and figured it out .. howitzers are great..but worthless when you can't hit the target

Maybe Milton is sick? Heupel didn’t call any deep balls and we need that to open up run game and short passes. Run game looked good. Defense looked good (for most part). But our qb and WRs tonight were sleep walking, and I don’t get it.

Milton is the same guy he who lost his job at Michigan and to Hooker.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

I love rock and roll.

 

[LargeOrange1]

My theory is that they didn't wanna show the playbook for the SEC slate

Wrong.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Itsxa good thing there is an outlet for everyone to express their feelings. Right or wrong.

 

[Pride85]

With such a lack of focus and discipline, have to think we spent one day preparing for AP and spent the rest of the week looking to FL. We were very sloppy offensively but I also thought every call went against us. PI in end zone not called and the obvious fumble/non-fumble. I did hear that several of these officials were here for the OM game couple years ago, so who knows.
We won ugly and that is much better than losing pretty.
No onto FL and lets whoop their a$$.

Go Vols!!

You very well might be right. As I stated earlier, when Huepel tries to run a different style of offense than normal, everything gets out of sync. We ran the normal pace and style twice tonight and scored in less than 90 seconds both times. Nothing in this game flowed like the offense we have seen for the last two years and that includes the mop up duty that Milton had last year.

He ran the ball pretty well when he scored and he flexed pretty good, too. Saw inconsistent throws like we've seen over his entire career but nothing that made me think he was ill.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Not sunshine pumping, just hate your kind. If you don't like me calling you out. use the ignore button because I will not stop. I will be up for this team and not be wringing my hands and going "OH My" all week like you guys will be. Be negative, be proud.

I hate your kind....blind. and I won't stop either, good luck.

 

[Pride85]

Wrong.

Yeah. They are just terrible and the coach is clueless.

Did I just watch?

You misspelled "F".

 

[tennesseeduke]

2-0, flat tonight, storms and delays, Florida next week, 0 deep shots, $h!tty refs, to many penalties.......... Win and move on to Florida.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I think many will change their tune when we actually open the playbook.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

It'll change. Quickly

 

[tennesseeduke]

You misspelled "F".

30-13 VICTORY!

 

[Pride85]

I hate your kind....blind

Not blind, just tired of the poor pitiful BVS sufferers. If you can't handle an ugly win without falling apart, you might want to find another sport to watch, or maybe a more relaxing hobby?

 

[JohnWardForever]

Milton is the guy that lost his job at Michigan and it wasn’t Harbaugh’s fault.

Milton is also the guy who lost his job to Hooker about 2 years ago - again not the coaches fault.

Play calling had to fall back in having Milton throwing to the sideline - because the coaching wasn’t/isn’t comfortable having Milton throwing anywhere else.

Milton has very little touch in throwing the ball AND he is slow to go through his progressions. Tonight’s opponent wasnt even an average opponent yet Milton struggled mightily.

If Milton remains the starting QB, the Vols will lose at least 4 games, likely 5 games.

Based on tonight, I have to agree. Joe either threw it behind receivers or overthrew them. Made a real nice throw for the TD . He is supposed to make that. Just had an off night, Good job it was AP. Ain't beating the rest of them like that.

 

[CAVPUT]

Haddon with 2 solid defensive plays.

I shudder at the thought of Hadden in a smack talk war with the gators. Who knows where his mind will be when the ball is snapped.

 

[Butch s]

I don't think we will see that a ton next week

We better. We have no passing game except for that

 

[Pride85]

I think many will change their tune when we actually open the playbook.

But no the Negavols are convinced that Huepel has forgotten how to coach. Although, when we do open the playbook at Florida, they will act like they knew he was still great all along.

 

[CAVPUT]

Hahaha. We cannot stop a non running QB from running

Imagine Milroe against the kind of tackling we saw tonight.
