Then you would have to assume that was the same problem at Michigan. Also, it doesn't seem to be a problem during practice, he nails every throw in practice.Milton isn’t overthrowing, maybe his receivers are just too slow. Not being controversial and most likely this is not the case, but Joe is getting all the blame just maybe it’s not all his fault.

Hmmmm Maybe your right didnt think of that send Milton to the dang Eye DR ASAP lol really he may need eye workI get the impression that Milton has that milli-second breakdown in his brain, just before he launches the ball, that he still wants to show how hard or far he can throw it. That's either arrogance or immaturity or both. That or he's blind in one eye and has no depth perception.
If that tendency can't be coached out of him, it's futile to think he'll fix it himself.
The overthrows can be found here:
Second drive, score 7-0 TN:
1) Across the middle for first down
2) Payton for touchdown
*Punt
Third drive:
3) Calloway inside 10 yard line
4) Merrill for touchdown
5) Tillman for touchdown
6) Payton on free offsides play
**Field goal, 10-0, Pitt goes on to score next two drives and Vols get FG off Milton scramble, making score 14-13 Pitt
Of these six throws, four should be labeled as egregious. Not bashing Milton, just thought I would share the tape for those interested in re-watching.

Besides the 6 being discussed in this thread, and the 1 to Hyatt (which he hit from 60+)...are there any others? What's his actual hit rate? 1/7 is 14%, so he'd need 2 more to be in the 40-50% range.I agree we have to hit some of those. Keep in mind that the best deep passers in the NFL hit between 40% and 50% of their deep balls.

We had a kid in my hometown who shot basketballs almost 3 hours a day from the time he was 5 years old until he was 13. He couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn when he tried out for the basketball team as a Freshman. The old saying “ practice makes prefect“ is not always true.
Maybe he just needs glasses like Wildthing Vaughn.More likely it's inability. Compare him to a baseball player that can throw the ball 98 MPH, but can't throw a strike to save his life. If he can't throw the deep ball better than he has shown at this stage of his career, he may never be able to do it with any consistency.
