This is very likely to be Milton’s last game at Neyland Stadium. He’s had an up and down career at Tennessee, struggling some in 2021 and losing the job to Hendon Hooker. However, he had a strong season as a backup and won Tennessee games against Vanderbilt and Clemson last year after Hooker went down with a season-ending injury.
Milton has underachieved this season relative to fan expectations. He’s sitting at 2,430 yards with 17 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.
Vanderbilt had a quick score in response to Milton and Keyton’s connection and the score is now knotted at 7-all with just over 11 minutes remaining.
