Garbage play calling!

 

[ChrisOnRockyTop]

Heupel keeps saying we play for championships. Is this what that looks like? When will we play for any championship? Genuinely curious.

 

[VOLinAL]

Milton just isn’t the guy we just need to survive the season

Good take after three plays.

 

[barney]

Felt like Wright gave up a little too easy on the first down catch.

Yeah that was way bad

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

They don’t trust Milton to throw vertical passes. Same play calls all year

 

[Namorto1]

Conservative play calling on that first possession.

 

[LibertyVol]

Looks like the Titans play calling.

Throw to the sidelines and run it up the middle. Reminds me of Johnny ball.

 

[Allvols98]

Play calling was a man check. Who is the stronger dude.

Lost that one

 

[UTK]

Oline gotta block better than that.

Jalen wright had an easy first down if cuts back to the right. Dunno why he ran right into the center lol

 

[Vol865]

Screen, run, run. Should've took a shot after sudden change.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

A sack and a pick already. Keep up the pressure defense.

 

[Spawn]

Disappointing start. Need to wake up. Thankfulll fior the pick.

 

[alavolfan]

Not a good first look…hope it ain’t an omen.

 

[joevol33]

Hopefully the defense can step up again.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Milton just isn’t the guy we just need to survive the season

They are cranked up to stop the run. We have to throw the ball if we win this game!

 

[Caz]

Terrible read by Milton as he should have pulled and ran that.

 

[Carl Pickens]

MO is going to sell out on the run. Milton will need to run

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Part of the issue was Wright. He could have gotten a lot more on 1st and ran out of bounds

 

[patrick]

Second and third down run the same friggin play we always run. Milton could have pulled it but he won’t.

And Milton doesn’t read. It’s either a called hand off or run. When Milton started to run it’s because Heupel called his freaking number.

What a total waste of a pick w a great return. Throw the damn ball down the field. Heupel does NOT trust his 6th year 24 year old QB.

 

[Score50]

Everyone in the country know what we do on 2 and 3rd and short. Same friggin play every friggin week and Joe won’t pull the friggin ball and run for two friggin yards.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

lol. Everyone overreacting to the first drive

A game thread is reactionary by design. It will be up and down.

 

[HighRockvol]

If you don’t trust Milton put Nico in simple as that tired of the stupid play calling

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Yeah that was way bad

Ya, he could have had a couple more

 

[Volnbeers]

This up the middle crap on short yardage when we NEED a first down is killing us this season. Why TF does it keep getting called when it’s been stuffed repeatedly?

It’s maddening

 

[hardyemt_p]

Milton needed to keep that
