The Official #11/#9 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Kylo]

I didn’t say he was in any danger at all this season. The seat just got hot though. This is a horrible showing by the whole program.

That is 100% true.

 

[midtnvol2]

Pulling Milton doesn't make the OL better

Yeah we need to see all the dead carnage on the side of the road before they make the move

 

[T Vols 21]

This is what had to happen for Heupel. As intelligent, as he is, he, for some reason is unable to recognize what at least 75% of our fans can see… Milton isn’t qb. He can’t run. And is incredibly inaccurate. Question is how many games do we have to lose before he makes a move?

You really think Heupel doesn’t know more than our fan base? Lol

 

[Frank Duncan]

Defense is beyond soft. Offensive line is like Swiss cheese.

OH Bullsht!! All college teams have to use three or four guys to tackle a 185 pound running back!!

 

[allstar34bd]

 

[orange_glory]

No zone in 2nd half?

 

[SGMVols]

Nico aint gonna do anything with this oline blocking

You put him in this game, behind that line, good chance he ends up at UF Hospital

And you could destroy his confidence beyond repair when you need him to be the guy starting next year

 

[BradentonVol]

Not if we don’t trust the WB to throw down field.

QB

 

[Sara Clark]

Based on this. There's zero chance we come back with him at QB

I'm afraid it's too late. The hole is likely too deep. Might as well leave him in. It wouldn't do anything for Nico's confidence at this point.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

This game is over, give him some experience. There is nothing more Milton can do.

That’s what I am saying. This game is done. Put Nico in and let him get some big time experience. I say let him play the rest of the year. That way next year he will be ready. This season is a wash.

 

[Frozevol]

They won't. Heupel is dumb.

I’d say more stubborn than dumb.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

The time of possession differential didn't matter last year because we could score. We're garbage on offense this year so it just looks really bad.

I was so nervous about this all off-season. With this offense being so up tempo, if you can’t get a first down, you’re going to go three and out in about a minute. Joe Milton has this offense sputtering and nose diving. The defense is going to get worse the longer they’re on the field and they’re already struggling.

 

[WiseOlVol]

Lots of "we lost" posters here, who haven't seen Tennessee @ Notre Dame 1991.

 

[tnvols72]

We can't run the ball right now and milton is under pressure. What are we supposed to do

We have not ran the offensive set that we have seen the last 3 years. We have seen this same set since 1st game

 

[HighRockvol]

Is Heupel a one hit wonder?

Good coaches don’t get blew out by ****** teams

 

[Doberman]

Idk I’m desperate for something at this point. I’m really perplexed at the lack of discipline, effort and coaching.

FML

 

[BJSforVols]

Agree! Go to Nico though. Get him experience for next season.

 

[Zues1]

Is it Nico time?

No, it's a better oline and play calling time

 

[VolForLife83]

Still a lot of horizontal passing going on. Running game still around. Joe's clock still not going off. Where's the TEs, middle of the field.....no threats down field except for the first series. Offense has run away and hid. Knew we might take a step back but, not back over cliff.

Joe isn't allowed to throw nothing but bubble screens

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Idk I’m desperate for something at this point. I’m really perplexed at the lack of discipline, effort and coaching.

It’s like watching a train/car wreck. We can’t help but watch.

 

[Vol4Life2289]

Looks like we may need to play some 12 personnel to protect joe for a little longer. Our 5 linemen can’t block 4 unfortunately.

 

[rocketskates]

Don’t worry. This was the plan. Suck them in and see their game plan and in the second half we are gonna start to play!

 

[posivol]

I’m thinking that running the clock down was part of the plan. Coach doesn’t have any trust in Milton to be able to throw down field.

shouldnt matter...unleash the cannon...pick at worse..they were still gonna run the clock out

 

[Matt2496]

If we don't come out swinging to start the 3rd quarter, I'm not going to watch the rest of this game.

 

[MurphyVol]

Not at all, but his offense needs a proficient quarterback to operate with any consistency. This isn't some kind of big mystery.

Getting soundly out coached by Napier. It's a legit concern, he had a year over year decline at his last job. He doesn't seem adept at coaching around his team's weaknesses.
