Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker made some UT history on Saturday.
The Tennessee quarterback passed for 349 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 112 yards and a touchdown in the Vols' 38-33 win over the Florida Gators.
Hooker is the first Vols quarterback to pass for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in one game since Josh Dobbs accomplished the feat in 2015 in a win against the Georgia Bulldogs.
Hooker is certainly leaving his mark at Tennessee despite joining the program less than two years ago.
The Greensboro, NC native is firmly in the Heisman conversation after leading the Vols to two wins over ranked opponents in their first four games of the season.
It's premature to say Tennessee is "back", but it sure feels like it's trending in that direction.
And Hendon Hooker is a big reason why.
