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

[Larkin]

It’s nico time. I never thought I would say it

 

[Caz]

I kinda always seen what you post

Some of ya’ll refused to see what was in front of you the entire time vs. Virginia and AP. Joe Milton can’t throw the ball down the field, the secondary is still terrible, and our running backs are average at best. Heupel should have brought in a transfer qb for one year. He probably truly believed he had improved but he can’t read a defense and cannot or won’t check out of a play. It’s been clear that Banks is terrible since year 1. Heupel will get a pass this year but a 4-8 season will make 11-2 a distant memory.

“I dOn’T lOsE iN fLoRiDa” - Joe Milton

He won’t if Nico comes in second half and saves the day

 

[NOLAPhil]

Started with secondary couldnt get them off the field....snow balled to off line sucking....milton getting desperate. Now the defense doesn't even know what is happening.

 

[MurphyVol]

So how bad is Virginia?

Well they were an underdog and lost to James Madison

 

[PA Vol]

iTs tHe oFfEnSiVe LiNe. No, it’s Milton and this staff having no trust in him. Florida is playing with their ears pinned back and nothing to lose because Milton can’t beat them.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Gotta change it up.

They won't. Heupel is dumb.

 

[Tenacjim]

We had to score on that possession, get the ball back 3rd qtr score again. We didn't. Game over.

Think it’s been over for a while….

 

[volmanNC]

I believe in Joe Milton. He will get it right second half.

Is that in blue font?

 

[AntiochVol81]

Milton is pure garbage Defense Garbage Coaching tonight Garbage…

 

[Voldawg1970]

Thank God it’s halftime. Florida can’t score now.

 

[C-south]

I love Milton but he just can’t get it done folks.

The throw on 3rd down just now shows he’s a mental wreck. Great guy and teammate but he’s not going to get it done.

 

[firestorm]

Terrible 1st half after scoring 1 td.

That became challenging to watch.

 

[Powder and shot]

Yuck yuck yuck

 

[Just a VolinTears]

I really am sick to my stomach

 

[joevols89]

I can think of one reason, our blocking

He’s going to have to play behind that line all season, good or bad.

 

[CPVOL]

Did you see Milton just roll the ball on a 5 yard slant ? Take him the F out. If not huep is going to get some heat. If you don’t trust the qb then make a change.

Why TF is he staying with this guy??? He can’t do anything except stand like a statue, stair down 1 target and throw it in the dirt. He sure as hell ain’t gonna run! So how TF can a coach expect to win with that? Sit his ass down and move on.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Gator fans should get MVP

 

[lawgator1]

The time of possession differential is shocking.

The only defense of Milton right now is he has no time to throw. FL is killing our offense line. That is where hookers running ability helped. Either way… bench him and play the freshman. Get some hostile road experience and no pressure to win a game that is out of control already.

 

[volbound1700]

Even if we get our offense going, you have to figure out the defense. It is a MAJOR issue right now and is losing us the game as well.

 

[Sarms58]

Playing on the road is always tough and our guys definitely blinked under pressure…we’ll see if the coaches can get them reset in the 3rd Qt…

 

[Carl Pickens]

I will say that I am just as shocked as all of you. The first Florida drive is what I thought I’d see tonight. That even if they were playing well, they would find a way to screw it up.

I didn’t expect this, but there is a whole half to play.

It looks like a Gator victory. The version of the Vols is soft and has no energy whatsoever

Milton may just be the first QB that Heupel won’t be able to turn into a gamer.

 

[ETV]

At this point, run the wishbone and play keep away. Let the defense rest.
