UConn head coach Jim Mora discusses quarterback Joe Milton becoming comfortable as the Vols tailor a game plan for him.

Tennessee redshirt senior quarterback Joe Milton III has totaled 1,763 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, four interceptions, 258 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns through eight games during the 2023 season.

The Vols will host UConn on Saturday at Neyland Stadium (noon EDT, SEC Network).

Ahead of Saturday’s non-conference matchup, UConn head coach Jim Mora discussed Milton with Vols Wire.

“You watch Joe, and he looks like he is getting a feel for what he is supposed to be doing, and he is comfortable doing it,” Mora said. “I think always with the head coach, is calling a game for him, is becoming aware of what your quarterback is comfortable doing and tailoring your game plan to it. You can see that happening before your eyes.”
