Question about Milton’s long run

[JonGrudensAgent]

College Football Stats - College FB Team Red Zone Scoring Percentage (TDs and FGs) | TeamRankings.com

TN has been in the top 40 twice the past 10 seasons according to this site in red zone scoring.

Keep in mind it is only counting stats between FBS schools so it might not be quite as bad as it looks.

The turnover margin is incredibly bad as well.

Through 3 coaches and 2 games under Heupel , few programs seem to be worse at shooting themselves in the foot.

Does he still have control of that ball with his left hand when the nose touches the goal line.? Kinda looks like it.

If Milton had tied his shoes

If he switches the ball to his left (outside) hand like he's supposed to on a left sideline run, he could have easily stiffarmed his way to the cheggarboards.

22 more negative posts on Milton and he breaks JG record for most about a qb in a single day...keep em coming!

He probably could have laid out for the pylon if his shoes weren’t loose and coming off. Like that?

No no no. JG is so far ahead it isn’t even close. At least Milton hasn’t thrown a pick six so far. He at least makes sure no body can catch the dang thing (well, maybe the Hot Dog vendor in the upper deck)

Yep! I was disappointed that with his size; he didn't just plow into the end zone.

I was using Bama math, like the way they count National Championships

so they are now at 47 NCs

Milton would overthrow the Taliban

Yes….check again tomorrow though. It changes frequently

 

[walkenvol]

Agreed. My point is, we seem to ALWAYS find some dumb way to turn a first and goal into zero points (or sometimes even 6 points for our opponent). We are EXPERTS at shooting ourselves in the foot. You just made my point for me

We did punch it in from the 2 yard line after the blocked punt

In the Game Saturday, Milton broke free for that long run and got down to about the five before being tackled. That was when the Offense basically self destructed and we were fortunate to wind up with a 47 yard field goal. That just felt very familiar to the last couple of seasons. It seems like UT might be some sort of national leader in terms of number of long gains to set up first and goals that go nowhere (or even backwards). I can recall several instances where JG completed a deep throw or Gray or Chandler almost reached the goal one and then the offense just couldn’t punch it in. So when Milton almost made it to paydirt I got this strange feeling of deja vu that turned out to be completed justified. At UT, you better complete the long gain or we are going back to the bench empty handed.
Does anyone have a stat for this? We gotta be one of the worst at it.

My son-in-law, who is a UGA grad, said it most succinctly...."The Vols are snake-bit". I believe it.

Aintthatthetruth.
our worst field position is first and goal.

Yes, and our worst defensive situation is 3rd and long!

Just you wait...

 

[Backwards K]

TN could teach a master class in how to NOT run a first and goal offense

TBH, in many of those situations, I'm just happy when they don't fumble the ball and have it run back 99+ yds for a TD.

First and goal from the half yd line, if you are the DC, you PRAY the offense throws it......Damn that stupidity

 

[Vfl2407]

I still call that Third and Chavis.
