The Official Johnny Majors Classic: Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[87&91ALUM]

Changing the beat down on overthrowing Joe, how about that Defense? Yes sir, came to play. Hope they can adjust and shut Pitt down.

 

[wmcovol]

2 so far

One is on the receiver

 

[Exiled]

How can he miss by overthrowing every time? Wouldn’t you think sooner or later it would sink in to take something off????

 

[give_him 6]

Milton reminds me of Crompton. That guy was frustrating when he was throwing over everyone's head. I know this is a little different as these are deep passes. Frustration is the same.

 

[Kicker82]

if heupel doesn’t see what everyone else does with milton, he isn’t the coach we need here

 

[chuckb1448]

Ok I defended Milton for awhile but I’m losing it now. He has arm power just not arm accuracy

No excuse for a wide open reciever to be honest, I hate to say it

 

[C-south]

Apparently Bailey has the weaker arm of all the QBs.

Maybe he’s not able to throw the deep balls consistently.

I’d like to see what Hooker can do next because it’s obvious Milton is struggling.

Except Bailey looked miles better than Hooker in the spring game.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Let HB go in one series and run this scheme please

 

[PA Vol]

I’ve never felt so enraged about a 10-0 lead against a team we aren’t picked to beat.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I’m ready to see Hooker or Bailey at this point.

 

[JMSqb11]

You bet on Tennessee games? Bold man. Real bold.

Mostly the unders the last few years with JG!

 

[TENICFAN30]

I can't believe how much lead he is giving his targets how can he not tell and correct this.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Move Milton to WR

Tight end

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I’m liking the indications that our speedy play is already fatiguing Pitt.

Yes, have to keep their D on the field

 

[EODVOL]

Not a Milton hater but his deep ball is always just too much.

Just too much, how about 10 yards too much. Guys are open by a few yards and he has all day, just don't understand.

 

[Volswami]

Overthrow Joe Milton

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Dude could've already had 6 tds passes but Jesus he has no accuracy or touch at all

 

[Kngsport VFL]

Was that kick touched?

It looked like it. It was tipped into being good, else it would have been wide left.

 

[BJWeeks]

Eventually Milton will get it. Once he starts hitting those them the defense will back off and open up the run game

 

[utvols20]

Keep the playbook limited to screens and crossing patterns - short passes…

 

[LittleVol]

When your defense keeps giving you these kind of opportunities, you better take advantage. We will not hold Pitt to 3 and outs forever

Our defense is really giving us a chance here.

 

[vols 30]

On the Brightside, at least he's not underthrowing for easy INT's

 

[ButchPlz]

I’m liking the indications that our speedy play is already fatiguing Pitt.

That's why I have no issue with Heupel forcing Milton into these long throws. What's the 4th going to look like? Pitt already can't handle it.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I’m not saying Bench Milton but this is perfect example to take him out for a series to just get out of his head and keep the rest of the offense encouraged. Like receivers know now that Pitt can not hang with them. Keep them motivated. Bring in Bailey for a drive for Milton to reset. Our defense is playing fine. No better time to get Milton calmed down and reset than now

We tried the calm down and reset for three seasons with JG. It didn’t work

 

[kell7517]

I agree some bad overthrows. But Hyatt and Jones have dropped one each. Could be 7-10 with 2 TDs.
