This is what happens when you stick with bad Qbs—Guarantano part 2

Dude had 271 passing yards, 2 TD's, a rushed 59 yards, no Int's yet he was the problem. Get out of here.
Tired of the they don't trust the QB talk. He had a TD right before the half yet the play calling went to crap in the 2nd half.
Bama made adjustment after the half we didn't. Our calling the offense calls didn't look like the 1st half nor did the defense play calling

We gave up 34 points-27 unanswered. We had 404 total yards. Milton accounted for 330 of those. I don't fault him for this game. His coach didn't help him and neither did his 2nd half defense

That, for me, was one of the biggest disappointments yesterday. Outside of a couple of players, that defense had their manhood challenged and they folded. I'm sure they were deflated due to the no calls by the zebras, but you still have to fight. I'm being repetitive, but I did not like the body language from a lot of our defenders in that second half. It's easy to run from the front. Hope that's not all we are. Next Saturday will be very, very interesting.

This game isn't on Milton, there's plenty of blame to go around. But yes, I'm glad his time is limited with us to 5 games plus a bowl game. I'm ready to move on from him. Play calling was bad, maybe that's due to Milton's limitations. I suspect some of it is, but NOT all. Refs, well, there's another issue.

We have some of the dumbest ignorant fans I've ever seen....Milton was not to blame...blame lack of separation, blame a 6'6 TE with the vertical jump of a 500 pound sister wife, blame play calling, blame poor showing by the RBs...but dine blane the Mfer who passed for 250 plus and led the team in rushing..

Maybe educate yourself. Research Erik Ainge and Casey Clausen.

Educate myself haha how bout ya join the coaching staff since ya know what the coaches know… I’m 48 years old been a fan of Tennessee football since 1985, I’ve seen it also but I think I’ll trust the coach on this one instead of listening to you..

We scored zero points in the 2nd half. There’s a problem with our team at Qb.

Milton had some poor awareness in the pocket and missed Warren on that would be touchdown, but I can’t put the loss on him. The coaches didn’t set him up for success in the second half like they did the first half. I think if he hits Warren in that TD, we win, but I also think the 3 4th and short calls were what had the real impact. You give Bama the ball at midfield after one of them, and you still have secondary that shoulder tackles or goes for the ball strip first instead of tackling. I get frustrated with Milton at times, but he did enough to win and the staff mismanaged it. I get that after a loss we want to blame someone, and it seems that Milton and officials usually get the blame, but the staff gets a pass. Milton wasn’t perfect, officiating wasn’t good, but the mismanagement of the game esp with that 20-7 lead, was to blame. Y

Maybe Nico is ready, maybe not.

But that statement you made is IGNORANT. Many True or Rsfreshman have started in the SEC

Where they at? Yea they have started but are they ready are they mature enough to read a defense are they ready I’ll just take the coaches word for it..

Well said. With the way yesterday's game went, pinning the loss solely on coaching, execution by one or more players, and/or refereeing skullduggery is wrong. In reality, the breakdowns in the two out of the three areas of failure within the Vols' control were inextricably linked.

The outcome wasn't all (or even mostly) on Milton in this case. But yeah, I am with you in that I'm ready to move on to the post-Milton years next season. Hopefully he'll have take advantage of his opportunities to show out for the remainder of this season, though.

Yeah I thought they had turned a corner in the A&M game..Now I just think they were pretty bad on offense. Got to get tougher. That's kind of the deal with this team. They've let UF and Bama bully them and folded..

There’s much more going on here than your standard loss. Think about how many 3rd and longs Bama’s offense converted bc of officiating. Think about how many receivers were held by Bama’s secondary. How many O lineman held our front 7. Bogus calls that even the nationally televised announcers can’t explain. Those issues not only affect the outcome of the game but everyone in it that’s being screwed while that’s happening. Think about it. Your offense starting at the 4 yard line instead of the 24 yard line? You’re probably sitting there trying to process how that happened and yet you still have to play ball. That affects everybody from the coaches to the players. They all know it’s BS. For those of you that want to point fingers at a player or a coach in this game, you’ll have to explain that before you can get me on board with blaming whoever wears orange. There’s no way you can convince me after what I watched that Bama beat UT straight up.

Everybody gets a pass this game but definitely a situation to monitor going forward. This is a good team but probably won’t win as many games as last year. I thought so before the season. Still feel the same after yesterday.

Definitely not. But they also aren’t the reason we’re losing. I’d argue the other dude completely. Prior to bama I believe we were 3rd in the nation in RYPG. Joe usually has plenty of time to throw. I’d argue sometimes too long. Just like the scoop score last night. You don’t get that with a shotty O line. We have much bigger problems.

I like Heupel but this is just stupid. We knew Milton would cost us games like this. He knew it. We knew it. Everyone knew it. The inability to score even a point in the 2nd half is on QB1.

Real annoyed.

I find the comparison to JG here to be mind boggling…. Simply because I never saw JG have a game with the production Milton just had against the Big 3 (UF/UGA/Bama)….

They were crowding the line. They weren't actually at the line til the ball was snapped.. They knew what we were running and had extra people is what I meant smart guy. They were not going to let us run right up the middle..

We threw the ball 41 times and ran it 38 times. We had the numbers to run the ball.
Surely you know our blocking scheme allows the back to pick what lane to run thru. You say we ran up the middle I say Bama LBs did a good job sealing off their lanes. Everybody wants to blame the coaching and only watches where the ball goes. Go back and watch AM, SC game and tell me how many times we run up the middle? Our offensive plays are designed to look at the numbers to dictate pass or run but sometimes you get whipped. We got whipped the 2nd half.

You wanna compare Milton to Guarantano? Really??? 😂

I don’t think you’re ready for my Guarantano conspiracy theory. There’s only one way to explain how he stuck around for so long…

Not that I care enough to go back and dig, but I’d say they are performing pretty close.
