The Official #19 Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

I'm actually amazed some of you guys didn't commit suicide during the Butch Jones years.

 

[Butch s]

He isn't that bad.

Who is he?

 

[Manchester Vol]

I'd rather gouge my eyes out than watch this

I know a really good eye surgeon. Poke away.

 

[BreatheUT]

Milton is going to have to hit some passes though. As good as our running game is our offense is pedestrian because of the QB's inconsistency. He is not a difference maker consistently enough when we really need him to be with critical decisions.

 

[rocketskates]

If we switched qb with them we’d be up at least 14

Right and he throws ducks. Difference is they are smart decisions. Milton has the talent but not the awareness. If he had the awareness he’d be a heisman candidate.

 

[BleedOrange81]

2 weeks to get prepared and this performance from ole Joe McDonald

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

The Eric Berry highlights make me have the sads.

 

[saxvol]

The Milton decision on the free play pretty much sums up his career. Here and Michigan.

Was it not Milton that ran it out of bounds as the clock expired vs. Ole Miss. instead of throwing it in the endzone to at least give us a chance to win In 2021? was that not Milton? I have brain fog.

He’s got 38 passing yards. I’d give Nico an opportunity to show what he can do.

But hey, it could be worse - he could have zero passing yards. He completed a couple passes. It's not like he's on scholarship at a top-ten historical football program or anything. It's not like we have some five-star freshman QB on the bench we could just insert into the lineup like Clemson did a few years ago when they won the NC.

 

[JHuntVols]

can you imagine some of these people giving advice to Saban in 2018? “You can’t bench an (obviously limited) Hurts… it’s obviously the same play calling and penalties. Not that the guy can’t complete anything but dump offs or screens.”

They will figure out our run if we can’t pass that’s for sure

 

[igotworms]

JG could at least work through progressions every now and then.

He would have gotten the first down on the "free" play

 

[TN1111]

I wish we’d run a Half back screen occasionally. The only time I remember us running that was for a touchdown vs Florida

Exactly.... hard to argue with the success of Heupel's offense, but I'd love to see those more often.

 

[Butch s]

Played not to lose in first half. Ok. Accomplished that. Got to take more chances with Joe in 2nd.

Just letting joe dress out is a huge chance

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Some of you morans

Erin?

 

[12 Monkeys]

Arm like Marino and brain the size of a hummingbird…

Come on, hummingbirds gotta think fast, you can’t zoom zoom that fast and be a slow decision maker.

 

[BreatheUT]

I don't get where is Donte Thorton in the gameplan?

I heard Hubbs say pregame that he is nursing a hamstring. The hope is that he would play.

Life insurance is the only thing that stopped me.

It was.

 

[kxtop]

A&M flops to slow our offense...officials need to stop it!

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Our decision making at qb is slow and horrible

 

[igotworms]

can you imagine some of these people giving advice to Saban in 2018? “You can’t bench an (obviously limited) Hurts… it’s obviously the same play calling and penalties. Not that the guy can’t complete anything but dump offs or screens.”

Yep. EXACTLY the same situation

 

[GordonC]

He would have gotten the first down on the "free" play

well he was one yard away
or would have been, had we declined the offisides penalty

 

[PA Vol]

The Eric Berry highlights make me have the sads.

For how we wasted his talent with terrible teams or how we don't have his talent now?

 

[saxvol]

It was.

Thought so, early warning sign...
