If you think back to 2021 and 2022, there’s just been something missing from the Josh Heupel Tennessee offense. Heupel and company have been forced to play a different way since Hendon Hooker and Jalin Hyatt left for the league, leaning on one of the strongest run games in the country.
What made Tennessee so dangerous though was the threat of that explosive, downfield passing attack. To be blunt, it just hasn’t been there during the last two seasons with Nico Iamaleava and Joe Milton running the show. No wide receiver really emerged as a consistent threat either.
