The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Austin Peay Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

[Tenacjim]

How come our receivers aren't getting open?

Too busy holding?

 

[Noni]

Fugly.

 

[KeyVol14]

Austin Peay was 7-4 last year and most of their games they lost were one score games. They aren't as bad as you may think.

UGA was struggling back to back weeks in the first half. We need to figure it out

 

[Voltopia]

It would not matter. Milton will either throw it too hard, far or high but if you need a screen, he is your man

lol, even Matt Simms could throw screens. Hell, Joey Mathews could throw screens.

 

[Gladiator1]

I've been reserved about Milton., two sub par teams and no domination and it's becoming clear, he will never be elite

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

How did Texas recover that?

 

[Switch 625]

How come our receivers aren't getting open?

They’re all blocking for the bubble screens.

 

[Vol737]

Maybe we’re just seeing how good Hooker has been the last 2 years?

Exactly right. They have to do things differently with Joe. We’re seeing the drop off.

 

[C-south]

I went out on a limb earlier this week and picked us to drop 60+ on them. I'll accept responsibility for jinxing team.

It’s not you. We all wanted Milton to be something he’s not.

 

[eskimovol]

How come our receivers aren't getting open?

They are but the ball isn’t consistently getting to them and when they do the wrs want nothing to do with them.

 

[I4Vols]

They're playing safeties deep. Those throws aren't available right now

You're playing AP... and we can't spread them out and win long or underneath
Missing a horse.
No, a thoroughbred

 

[volbound1700]

I don't like the heavy focus on quick screen bases in the slot. We aren't throwing a lot of slants or downfield passes, everything is lateral and receivers are blocking a lot instead of running down field.

My assumption is that we are hiding are playbook and where doing that last week as well. Hopefully I am right and it isn't something worse.

 

[Butch s]

Joe and the ho gotta go. Sorry wrong forum….. joe gotta go

 

[KeyVol14]

And when we tried to pass in the middle of the field everyone was wide open. Milton just wasn’t hitting and he lost all his confidence. Picture perfect start for AP

I've been defending Milton long enough. He looked terrible first half.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I just got home from work. Can someone tell me synopsis thus far. Are we sleep walking and likely will be more interested next week? Or are we getting no push against Austin Peay?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

It sure is making me nervous. I’ve been given club seats in UF section and I’ll be in all orange! I’ll be a ball of nerves

For sure a risk for all those folks that made some assumptions and overloaded the Vols butt for this game. We got the best break of the half with the muffed punt, but the odds of those bizzare calls by their coach working in both halves is low. I do admire his guts, and I guess he figured he did not have much to lose. We need to take the second half kickoff and score. But better watch for the onsides kick for sure.

 

[JCHateSteve]

UNC and Appy tied in the 3rd. Glad we aren't playing the Mountaineers today.

 

[C-south]

They’re all blocking for the bubble screens.

You mean holding. Apparently receivers can only hold this game and not the guys tackling our front 7.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Dropped pass vs a poory thrown dropped pass. Are you stupid or something? I don't want to pick on special people.

Then stop touching yourself.

 

[yotebuster]

How did Texas recover that?

Divine intervention

 

[Switch 625]

Give Milton some coco and half and get him sleepy. Maybe it'll calm him down and stop forcing it

Put a 5 pound wrist band on him.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I just got home from work. Can someone tell me synopsis thus far. Are we sleep walking and likely will be more interested next week? Or are we getting no push against Austin Peay?

Depends on who you talk to

 

[Dadof2volfans]

Do we want Florida?

Florida will beat us soundly at this point

That’s the only pass that Milton can throw effectively.

 

[UTodd01]

Anyone who has watched Heupel’s offense over the past 3 years knows what’s going on right now. This is as vanilla as he’s ever been. Hiding literally EVERYTHING on offense right now.
