Joe Milton inconsistent in Tennessee debut
A hot start that turned cold quickly.
By Terry A. Lambert@TLambertTN Sep 3, 2021, 12:35am EDTAfter another long, tumultuous offseason, the Tennessee Volunteers took to the field on Thursday night to kick off yet another new era of football. Josh Heupel is now the man in charge, bringing his high-powered offense to Knoxville with him. Also coming with him was Joe Milton, a transfer from Michigan and native of Orlando. Milton was named the starter on Monday, and got off to a white hot start to open the game against Bowling Green. The 6-5, 244 pound quarterback had the Volunteers up 14-0 after just a handful of minutes. He was efficient and attacking, taking what was given to him and moving quickly down the field. Milton scored the game’s first touchdown, keeping the ball himself on a four yard touchdown run. However, after those two touchdowns, the wheels fell off for Milton. A disastrous second quarter had Bowling Green in striking distance at halftime, as the Falcons trailed 14-6. Milton struggled to complete passes, or even find an open receiver. To be fair, he wasn’t exactly helped by his receivers either, as Jalin Hyatt had two key drops. Tennessee went back to the ground game to open the third quarter with great success. You kind of got the sense that Heupel knew he could have what he wanted on the ground, but he also needed to see something from his new starting quarterback. Honestly, after those first two scoring drives, we didn’t see much of anything else from the passing game. Milton misfired on a couple of deep shots, barely missing a wide open Cedric Tillman. He sailed both attempts long. Milton also seemed a touch slow getting through his reads all night long, getting himself into trouble in the pocket — which eventually led to a sack fumble.

As part of the official Alan Hooker fan club, I love this story. I can't wait to see Alan's youngest son take the field at Truist Stadium. |

I hear that he is the 8th best draftable QB in this year's draft!
