Tennessee fans knew all about Hendon Hooker entering the year. SEC fans had a pretty good idea. But on Saturday on another national stage, the rest of the country got to figure out what we already knew.
Hendon Hooker was simply brilliant on Saturday afternoon. He got whatever he wanted against the Gators, leading Tennessee to their first win over Florida since the 2016 season. Following his efforts, Hooker was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. He was also named the National Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
