Heupel: ‘Multiple factors at play’ in determining starting QB this week

Where does the quarterback situation stand in Knoxville? That’s a good question — one that Josh Heupel wasn’t interested in answering on Monday. It’s understandable though, considering how different the offense looked under each passer on Saturday.

Joe Milton got his second start for Tennessee against Pittsburgh, once again showing big flashes but failing to deliver overall. Milton fired away down field to wide open receivers, missing each and every one of them and really handicapping the Tennessee attack. Tensions were rising in the stadium as Pittsburgh capitalized on the Volunteers’ missed opportunities.

Just as it seemed like decision time for Heupel, Milton took a shot and exited to the locker room with an injury.
