Nearly 3,000 yards passing, 68 percent completion, 31 TDs / 3 int and 620 yards rushing

And guess what? He is about to be much better.

Tennessee QB coach Joey Halzle recently said:

"Being able to play games with the defense of knowing where he wants to go with the ball. Knowing what the defensive structure is, what their rules are, how to manipulate that, how to play the game with the other side of the ball and get the results that he wants. So he’s made a huge jump in the offseason of defensive understanding and it’s really showing on the field right now.”

I watch ALL the Tennessee practice interviews and listen to each player. It is very clear from listening to all the offensive players and staff that Hendon Hooker is a VERY special young leader, not just a great football talent.

We haven't had his level of commitment and leadership during an off-season supposedly since the great Peyton freakin Manning.

And returning 4 out of 5 OL starters, leading WR and a loaded stable of backs.

Alabama is the ONLY SEC team who might put out an offense as good as Tennessee next year but the Vols will be tougher to stop simply because how fast we run.

I bet every team we play does the fake injury routine on defense ala Ole Piss style this year.
