re: Pitt is now 7 point dawgs to the Vols despite home field advantage and being ranked

Agreed. As long as Hooker doesn't overthink things which he tends to do at times and just plays loose fun football, we win by multiple TDs.

Hooker has the ability to be the best QB in the nation but i have noticed one flaw in his game. He tends to tighten up at times and when he does, his passes lose a lot of accuracy. He has even admitted to this in some of his interviews. He is actually a very cerebal QB who tends to overanalyze things.

I noticed when he takes off with the ball a few times and gets first downs, makes a few plays with his legs, his body language takes on a much different more confident demeanor. I would like to see them roll him out of the pocket a few times his first series of the game.
