The Arms Race: D’Eriq King vs. Hendon Hooker
Photo by Ryan M. Kelly/Getty Images Hendon Hooker is a good quarterback. The 6’4” 220 pound dual threat quarterback is posting a 66.3% clip in 2020 and is a force in the running game. When the Hokies fell victim to Liberty 38-35 in Blacksburg, it would be hard to find fault with #2.
Hooker was 20-27 for 213 and 3 touchdowns through the air. Not to be outdone in the ground game, he went off for 156 yards rushing on 20 attempts. This was the second time this year he rushed for over 150. (164 vs. BC) Justin Fuentes and company feature Hooker in the run game and for good reason.
