The Official Tennessee vs. Bowling Green Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Nugget]

The first punt of the season turned out well.

 

[84Volfan]

Yes

Slow to make a decision...early so I'll refrain from making a decision on him just yet

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Can anyone tell me what running that support tape from the shoulder all the way down the back of the arm to the wrist actually does for a player?

I've noticed that Kamara does it as well in the Saints' games.

Kinesiology tape ....supposedly helps with blood flow, reduce swelling etc.

Could also help especially on RBs with rug/turf burn.

 

[Flipdaddy]

Mays going out threw off the rhythm.

 

[Orange defense]

Got to throw it quicker. He will I believe. Learning that he can’t hold it like that.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

He would have been way short of the first down line. Milton was going for the first down.

He was down the field nearly 20 yards. It would’ve been a first down. It was a bad read and he held the ball too long. It happens.

 

[Volfan2012]

Right now were on a 56 points 640 total yards pace. 26 plays in first quarter.

 

[kptvol1]

had a guy open for the 1st down just held it to long more reps more reps

Needed to pull the trigger before the tight end got into the Sahara I’m the middle of the field. If he knew the routes on that play and was looking at defense, this would have happened. It’s a tough job at qb, though. The sheriff could even be armchair critiqued sometimes.

 

[vol.E]

Think we had a receiver that needed to head to the end zone and didn’t. Think Milton was waiting on him to commit. Idk.

We had a perfectly run wide open crossing route open there. I hope I’m wrong, dead wrong … and it feels good to win and not go backwards and all that…

But a staunch SEC D is gonna lunch on Milton based on his footwork and down field vision IMO…

NO he wasnt and if its a little short better than a sack but its a teaching point so lets roll

Same. It’s hard tho isn’t it lol

 

[UTK]

They were wide open because they were 2 plays from line of scrimmage with DBs waiting to tackle them. Milton wanted a first down.

Uh...they were wide open past the first down marker though

 

[whodeycin85]

Chances are low if he throws to Fant ge gets the first..then punt would be a touchback....instead of beibg inside the 10..

 

[Orange defense]

Milton will learn. CJH will get these quarterbacks right.

 

[zeppelin128]

This freaking Applebee's commercial makes me want to shoot my television.

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Milton needs to show some urgency, even if this is Bowling Green. Florida, hell even Pitt, ain’t gonna give him half this time in the pocket

 

[Wes76abrams]

Relax one play and you think the guy is Ryan leaf…he’s not Payton Manning it’s a new system

 

[84Volfan]

Same. It’s hard tho isn’t it lol

Yup

I've noticed that Kamara does it as well in the Saints' games.

My guess is that it prevents cuts and scrapes on the elbows and forearms.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He would have been way short of the first down line. Milton was going for the first down.

The play, as called, was wide open. Take it. Don't assume your teammate can read your mind.

 

[VolGirl81]

For the most part, they def look more disciplined

 

[volinthenorth]

He was down the field nearly 20 yards. It would’ve been a first down. It was a bad read and he held the ball too long. It happens.

No he was far short of the first down they needed 16 yards and he wasn't there and had a defender on him

 

[kptvol1]

No one was open, that was on WRs. Get open.

Tight end, Fant was open in the middle.
Edit: this isn’t a judgment on Milton. Still think he gets better and am pulling for him.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Lets hear how JG held the ball too long.

Who the hell is Payton
