Post by: murfvol on December 31, 2022, 02:00:40 EST
We're essentially taking a squad that could be 7-5 against a Clemson team that belatedly figured out its QB. Regardless, this will be a terrific way for coaches to see where next year's group is ready and where it needs help.

GBO!

Supposedly the reason he couldn't get on the field for most of the season was because he couldn't handle the blitz. I expected Banks to get exotic tonight.

Offensive yards:  UT 191 - Clemson 273
Rushing yards:  UT 36 - Clemson 72
First downs:  UT 11 - Clemson 19
3rd down conversion:  UT 2-7 - Clemson 3-10

The only stat that matters, though, is the score!  UT 14 - Clemson 3

Beasley was out most of that drive
Looked gasses when he went out

Also, we mostly played coverage on the drive
I thin the QB runs have got them out of blitzing

The offense is a bit out of sync
Could be the absence of AG but I think Joe doesn’t make the quick reads that Hooker did
That wil come but it slows us down

The middle of the field is open, need to exploit it

Need to be persistent in trying to run

On defense, just make stops

They were gassed at the end of the half

What a weird freakin game!  Lots of plusses, lots of minuses.   Milton finally loosened up a bit and hit a few critical home runs.  Clemson got tons of hits, but just stranded way more too many men on base.

That was a great end to this season. Beating Clemson is always sweet. Looking forward to next season to see what Milton can do on a consistent basis. He is improving a lot. Future is pretty bright for the Vols. Let's get the D to play that way every game.

After the beating he took early in the game, he was very quick to exit the pocket. Wherever he left the pocket I felt really good about our chances. He was definitely not a fan of our pressure and played like a true freshman.
