Also, night game @UF.... that's a scary environment

Milton: is like the girl who is a 10 in looks and a 3 in everything else. Can be exciting but will be frustrating too.
Hooker: is the girl who is a 6 in all categories, not as exciting but less to complain about.
Bailey: The girl on the internet. Don't know much about her but you'd like to find out.

Not sure who will win the most games though.

ya, whatever the line is, take UF

 

[volbeast33]

Yo, any words from your sources on the injured players we have?

Yeah just a little bit but nothing definitive…..besides Hyatt who may have a concussion…. He doesn’t think any of the injuries are serious…. They may hold them out bc it’s Tech but doesn’t expect any of the others to be out after this weekend…. Don’t take that to the bank but it’s what he has heard so far.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I’d rather JH just come out and say he doesn’t discuss injuries etc. It comes off really dumb acting like he’s not aware of players’ statuses.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Poor Tennessee Tech…. Gets to be introduced to Byron Young

 

[Vols2DaWall]

It’ll be something like UF -17 I bet

He has said he isn’t going to discuss injuries lol - they ask anyways.

 

[InVOLuntary]

These college coaches are so goofy.

I don’t care what coaches really say as long as they improve and win. Said that about Butch. I have no issue with not telling the world out business.

I went and looked it up bc I had heard he struggled and was inconsistent….. his state were not too bad….. the reason for his leaving was worse than just struggling….. he had a mental breakdown against clemsons….. He had two dropped snaps for fumbles…. After the first one…. They put the back up QB in and he performed well….. he got injured and Hooker went back in when he fumbled again which was returned for a touchdown…. He wouldn’t re-enter the game bc he was cold. LOL

What's the sources on that? The whole mental breakdown and refusing to reenter the game thing? I want to read it. Because... I'm an actual VT student, and my roommate at the time is a VT Athletics employee who was on the field for that game... and he never said anything about that.

Kid had a bad game and a bunch of good games. That's somehow worse than the other guy who had a good game and a bunch of bad ones lol?

Point is, he didn't "fail" at VT unless your definition of failure is not winning every game. He's an experienced and quality QB. Of all the QBs we've had on campus since Dobbs he's the most successful.

I mean maybe.

A lot of stuff is in our favor going into that game.

We have two weeks to get ready for UF, meanwhile they play Bama this week. Their fans and their players will be in beat down hangover mode for that game.

With Milton I don't think it is mechanics as much as it is nerves. Tension is the culprit in throwing high in any sport and some have a real problem finding that place of comfort in the spotlight.

I'm not sure. I dont think we win. But Jones sucks and Richardson is a FR.... I could see a 30-24 UF final

It's UF. We don't have depth. Don't get your hopes up

Meh, he played in front of 107k at Michigan. No excuse for that

Better than 3:30 on CBS, IMO.

Whatever excuses help you sleep bro. Florida is going to lose 3-4 games this year. They aren't anything special.

If we get blown out it will be because of the same kind of coaching failures we had on Saturday.

Whomever it turns out to be, Farrell will ask them for a spoon pic.

If they are healthy, I would rather see them all play to get some rhythm and consistency, IMO.

 

[volinbama256]

Well, one positive is Young will be chomping at the bit to go out there and make some plays... don't think we will have to worry about him/that position this week...

If it only were that simple at QB............... Sorry guys, but if Milton goes out and starts missing open WR's again and Heup keeps him in, I will start to worry about Heup and what "he promised" Milton in order to get him to come here...

 

[BigOrangeVols]

It's vastly overrated

 

[pierce60]

At this point Byron Young better “Chandler Jones vs. Titans” Tennessee Tech or he’s going to be considered a bust….

But what will that really show us? Tech is very much overmatched.

They're more developed, more well coached, have depth.

This is not true either. Burmeister won the job last year over Hooker for game one in 2020. He won their first two games and at some point in game 3, he got injured and was ineffective. Hooker played after that, and VTech went 2-7 the next 9 games. They lost 47-14 to that same Pitt team we just played. Hooker got injured early against Clemson in a loss, and Burmeister started the last game against UVA in a win.

Not sure where you got that information, but Burmeister was their clear starter this year and beat UNC. He can pass and run as well. That is why Hooker transferred.

I am not suggesting you did here, but this board likes to twist information to support their opinions on players and coaches.

I was relaying my understanding of the situation being on campus. It was back and forth between who would start. I remember being told Hooker got injured in preseason workouts and Burmeister was looking really good. Burmeister did start and looked very good, and when Hooker was healthy BB lept the job. The BB got hurt and Hooker didn't play his best games (but neither did the team. I'd have to go back and look but I think Hooker had some decent games that they still lost).
