There will be a new No. 1 in college football next week.
No. 8 Tennessee knocked off top-ranked Alabama 52-49 behind the standout play of quarterback Hendon Hooker and a clutch kick from Chase McGrath. Almost as sweet for the Volunteers, they broke a 15-game losing streak to their rival with the victory.
Hooker finished 21-of-30 for 385 yards and five touchdowns as he outdueled reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and established himself as a top contender for college football's biggest individual award.
In a back-and-forth game, Hooker found Jalin Hyatt for a 13-yard touchdown to tie the game late in the fourth quarter.
