It's like Pate decided that wherever Ubben treads? He's going 180.

Milton <sigh>......He shouldn't have run, but if you're going to run, give it everything you got and go for the endzone.

If anything, don't run your ass out of bounds

Man...it's going to be really disappointing if Hooker's injury is of the long term sort (which I suspect it is). He was having such a good season and just about willed us to a win last night. It's so unfortunate that he went down like that with only 18 seconds left in the game. Just hoping Bailey will get a chance because South Alabama and Vanderbilt aren't gimmes with Joe Milton at quarterback.

We can probably beat both of them with Milton, but yeah, it's heartbreaking that Hooker went down like that at that point when he about Dobbs'd his way into Tennessee lore forever.

Smart place to be IMO

Did he not know he was about to run out of time? I mean just throw the dang ball.

Unfollowing and muting some big J CFB personalities today

I wish all Tennessee fans would. I wish we would just ignore them and stop talking about what they’ve said. They live off the attention we give them. We need to stop.

Do the hunter Henry hail Mary lateral. Worked against Ole miss when he did it. Just do something.

I just don't know why we can't get a little luck. We finally are drawing up great plays but we are so limited with our injuries and depth. Everyone basically said before the season, "Well, barring significant injuries," and we already have tons of significant injuries. It's ridiculous.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I hope Bailey lights it up and I will be convinced he would have hit the throw at the end of OM

I think he panicked and when his mind totally blanked, he defaulted to "stop the clock."

If I had a fourth grader, I'd tell him/her to buy their cigs from Josh Pate. Eff David Ubben....

I was one of those...it is blowing my mind that our staff is getting this level of play from this roster.


And yet we have idiots on here nitpicking them..

This gif is becoming one of my favorites. I’m stealing and using it the appropriate time.

The staff may never lead us to greatness but there really isn't too much cause to be down on them at all to this point. A play call here and there, yes, but I think the overall performance has been quite good.

Maybe he was looking at another clock.....................that's all I got

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Pfft. I didn't even miss you.

I didn’t even know he was here

You're being awfully generous here. Cause that was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a football game.

Happens at your age...

Bro… no one was coming close to Milton. It was protected well. Milton panicked and ran into his own guy and the rush. If he stayed in the pocket and moved up, he has any easy throw to the end zone for a 50:50 ball. Bailey could have done that.

I think it was designed for him to roll right if the initial read was not there. When he ran into his own lineman, it discombobulated him and he ran the other way. Still absolutely k no excuse for running out of bounds. I don't think he was afraid to get hit, I just think he had no real awareness of the time left on the clock.

That was a really tough position he got thrown into

 

[reVOLution33]

Milton is going to die behind the OL vs Bama.

Does he even play? He has been terrible all season and then his play at the end of the game last night, just my Lord! How can we continue to trout him out there.

I don't care how you or anyone else feels about Bailey, but if Hooker can't play, Bailey should start and be given a long leash.

When I drop my first grader off tomorrow, I'll tell him to make sure the bootleg cigarettes don't lead back to @David Ubben as the supplier

Agreed.
