Tennessee<\/a><\/strong> is getting a taste of what the unfortunate side of football season brings \u2014 in the offseason. The Vols have been having to compensate for multiple offensive injuries, and it had caused some panic inside Joey Halzle\u2019s group to begin the offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust work through your reads, don\u2019t worry about anything. Work through, get to your check-downs, scramble, extend plays, go up and out, go get yardage. All of this is extremely beneficial,\u201d Halzle, Tennessee\u2019s QB coach, told VolQuest<\/a>. \u201cIt might not feel that way. You might get frustrated because you aren\u2019t on the same page with the guy that you\u2019re used to going with. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 All that stuff that you might not normally get in the spring, they got to do all that for a while in the spring and I told them that this will serve you all extremely well moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

For presumed starting quarterback Joe Milton<\/a><\/strong>, who he\u2019s throwing to isn\u2019t the problem \u2014 his mind is Milton\u2019s biggest enemy. Halzle said that Milton is prone to putting himself down when he misses a read or doesn\u2019t complete a pass. His message to his senior QB: You don\u2019t have to be perfect. Instead of reacting negatively, just let it go, move and they\u2019ll come back to it in film. <\/p>\n

Halzle is trying to help Milton understand that he can still have that perfectionist mindset without having the thought process that could potentially harm the team. He\u2019s calling on Milton to react to negative situations in a more beneficial way instead of showing his frustrations on the field.<\/p>\n

Since arriving in Knoxville in 2020, Milton has passed for 1,346 yards and has a 12-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio entering his final season of eligibility. Before that, he played for\u00a0Michigan<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from 2018-2020 before hitting the transfer portal and settling down at Tennessee.<\/p>\n

After being forced into a starting role following Hooker\u2018s torn ACL, Milton helped lead the Vols to a 31-14 win over\u00a0Clemson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in the Orange Bowl. He completed 19 of his 28 attempts (67.9 percent) for 251 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Halzle said the same goes for freshman and five-star recruit\u00a0Nico Iamaleava<\/a><\/strong>. As he transitions to the speed of the college game, learning patience in the pocket while maintaining a calm demeanor \u2014 regardless of the other 10 men in the huddle next to him \u2014 will serve him well as he transitions into his expected role as QB1 after next season. <\/p>\n
