The Official Johnny Majors Classic: Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

Overthrow Joe

 

[chef3531]

Hooker is a lot faster than both of them but does not have the deep ball

Neither does Milton lol

 

[peerless98]

I agree some bad overthrows. But Hyatt and Jones have dropped one each. Could be 7-10 with 2 TDs.

True but Hyatt's drop didn't matter as it turned out due to a holding penalty

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I don’t think Milton can help it. I think his arm is just too damn strong. He took some off that throw over the middle and still over threw the receiver.
GBO!!

Yeah he's getting air under the ball and still over throwing it. Sooooo what he needs to do is when he takes the snap, run 5-8yrd backwards and then throw HAHAHA

 

[JMSqb11]

We tried the calm down and reset for three seasons with JG. It didn’t work

We didn’t have one of the top offensive minds orchestrating that “reset” with JG

 

[Matt2496]

Milton makes guarantano look like a 1st rd draft pick

Completely disagree with this. If it was JG out there he would be throwing it to Pitt defenders.

 

[give_him 6]

Heard the boo birds after that 6th overthrow

 

[EODVOL]

We are freezing their pass rush. Got to stretch the field vertically and horizontally.

yeah but when you are not connecting, D is gonna stop respecting your deep ball and take their chance of blitzing the QB.

 

[Orange defense]

Look! You loosen the arm up with softer touches on the outside shoulder either side!

 

[UnkieVol]

We should be up 21-0 right now, but Joe Milton can’t complete a pass over 15 yards.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Should be 21-0 at least

 

[Rifleman]

Doesn’t matter when he can’t hit a WIDE OPEN receiver

He will hit one. They have to respect the threat.

 

[Other_Guy]

I'm with coach. Milton is absolutely a game changer if he can dial in the accuracy. I like giving him the reps to settle

I think we've learned from past QBs that it doesn't take as long as to be confident that the player is what he is.

 

[advancedrescue27]

I wanted to believe Milton would get better, but he’s just not accurate. It’s time to put someone else in.

Bad thing is you know they won’t. I agree with not pulling your starter after a few mistakes, but at some point you’ve got to come to terms with reality.
And before anyone starts with the BS of it only being game 2, he did the same at Michigan. If he hasn’t corrected it yet, it’s likely not going to happen.

 

[The Original Fade]

Milton has to put touch on those throws. Should be 21-0

Should be 35-0

 

[peerless98]

Tennessee's speed is too much for Pitt right now

 

[vavolfan6]

We just look like we have faster players

 

[greazy1722]

Joe Milton is not Dillon Gabriel

 

[Volprofch05]

Thank God for special teams!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Milton is just too erratic with his passes. You never know what you are going to get

He has a long long long way to go from what we have seen so far. We should have at least 24 pints on the board. I think our defense will have to continue to keep them at bay. May I wish we were playing a QB who could throw the ball accurately. Pitts defense will find a way to cover better and we may need those missed opportunities back.

 

[615vols]

It is, just not on the scoreboard.
GBO!!

Lol The only place it matters

 

[Rifleman]

yeah but when you are not connecting, D is gonna stop respecting your deep ball and take their chance of blitzing the QB.

If they do they will get burned.

 

[volmanbill]

When did we become so fast?

 

[JMSqb11]

Apparently Bailey has the weaker arm of all the QBs.

Maybe he’s not able to throw the deep balls consistently.

I’d like to see what Hooker can do next because it’s obvious Milton is struggling.

Our problem right now is our QB1 has too strong of an arm lmao

 

[utvolpj]

Or special teams has been ridiculous so far
