The curious case of Tennessee football and Joe Milton: When should the Vols consider a change?
Manage episode 380177036 series 2470115
Josh Heupel's teams usually win because of their offense. These Tennessee Vols win in spite of their offense – at least, that was the case against Texas A&M.
The Vols' defense fueled that victory.
But, can Tennessee expect its defense to carry the day against Alabama? Usually, dynamite quarterback performances and a high-scoring opponent are required to beat Nick Saban's Crimson Tide. And Joe Milton isn't supplying this offense with what it needs.
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, John Adams and Adam Sparks examine the dilemma of Tennessee's quarterback situation.
Milton is the sixth-year veteran, but he's making rookie mistakes. So, why not pivot to ballyhooed freshman Nico Iamaleava? That comes with risks – risks coaches don't usually like to take.
