The combination of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker and head coach Josh Heupel has been nightmare fuel for opponents this season. Even Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide found that combination tough to stop as Saturday’s game between Tennessee and Alabama got underway.
When Hooker threw this 36-yard touchdown pass to Jalin Hyatt with 6:33 left in the first quarter, the Vols had already scored on Jabari Small’s one-yard run. Then, Alabama responded with a drive that end in Jahmyr Gibbs’s eight-yard touchdown run, setting Hooker up for this beauty of a throw.
