Tennessee thumped Tennessee Tech today 56-0 moving to 2-1 for the season.
QB Joe Milton was declared out just before game time, and backup Hendon Hooker propelled the offense to touchdowns on five offensive drives. He completed 17 of his 29 passes for 199 yards and three scores, and he also led the team in rushing yards (64), added one rushing touchdown and fell literally an arm length’s away from a second one, shown below.
But, Hooker also lost a fumble for the second-straight game. This time, it was on a scramble, and it was after he’d already picked up necessary yardage for a first down.
