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

[GhostVol]

This could get very ugly.

Could?

 

[EtowahVol]

Martinez needs to go. Let him thumb back to knoxville.

 

[Drewbydoo]

Vols need to hang onto the for more than 8 min in the second half. js

 

[lifeisdeep]

This program has been in the dumpster the last 10-15 dude.. we've looked way worse in the past.

We have looked way worse than we did last year with an NFL QB. We have not looked worse, in way over two decades, in Gainesville than this **** show.

 

[Voltopia]

Is Heupel a one hit wonder?

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

 

[C-south]

Guys we’re just being vanilla. We’re REALLY gonna open up the playbook NEXT week!!

Where are those guys at?

 

[volbound1700]

The D stays on the field because they can’t stop anything tonight. It’s been that way the entire game, even before and after we scored. Joe has his faults for sure but he’s not the sole reason we’re down 26-7 and it’s stupid to think he is.

The half time announcers are correct, our offensive and defensive lines are getting pushed around. That is why Florida is winning.

 

[rockytophigh]

We are getting whipped at every position.....getting manhandled

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Is Heupel a one hit wonder?

Looking like a Dobbs/Jones situation.

 

[jtdavis]

This could get very ugly.

It is already ugly.

 

[KeyVol14]

I still do not get why Heup went away from his offense set that he has ran since he has been here to this circus we see now

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

 

[Persian Vol]

I don’t think anyone was expecting our offensive and defensive line to be getting abused like this. This isn’t a Milton issue as much as a team issue.

 

[aRmo]

Nico is not hurt. He warmed up as the #2 QB today.

Nico aint gonna do anything with this oline blocking

 

[Caz]

Charlie Brown can’t kick a football and Vols get routed in Gainesville. Some things never change

 

[AdoptedVOL]

ESPN hosts are being brutal. No complaints here.

 

[volgr]

Some of are fans are turning on heupel when he was the one to develop all those special players we had last year. Some need to get a clue

This is what some feared when we hired Heupel. When his go fast offense doesnt produce points, like it did last year, decent SEC teams will expose you.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

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.

As much as I took up for him and wanted him succeed. Great guy it seems like but he just doesn't have that killer instinct to put the team on his shoulders and go win

 

[BigALWiLson]

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?

Until he feels like Nico can run the offense and he's ready to play. The kid is a true freshman and the OL looks bad. Do you want to screw him up before he has a chance ?

 

[UTK]

It’s on Tim Banks.

 

[utvolz98]

The D stays on the field because they can’t stop anything tonight. It’s been that way the entire game, even before and after we scored. Joe has his faults for sure but he’s not the sole reason we’re down 26-7 and it’s stupid to think he is.

Defense is trash that can’t tackle, but Joe hasn’t provided a single spark.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Will Nico matter with playcalling

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

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

You putting this all on Milton? That would be pretty dumb if so.

It’s not 100% on Milton. But he has sucked. With Hooker we would be winning this game.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

This has been about our defense’s inability to stop the dam ball so far

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

I'm not pleased to say this but some of this has to be coming from the top. Heupel isn't getting the team prepared nor steadied when we slip.

It's very troubling to see the team crack up entirely. It's like they lost the "buy in." I'm starting to think there was more to that team meeting than just the APSU game.

 

[Volfan39]

If tommarion McDonald plays another ****ing snap I’m gonna lose my ****.
