The Tennessee Vols have arguably the best offense in the entire country. At the helm, QB Hendon Hooker and WR Jalin Hyatt sit above and beyond another other duo.

Their numbers are worthy of awards, and Hyatt's statistical output is a marvel in the SEC.

Hyatt has more receiving touchdowns than six SEC teams.

Additionally, Hyatt has been a big play machine for the Vols.

His ability to stretch the field is elite, and Hendon Hooker throws one of the prettiest deep balls in college football. Their connection was on full display against Alabama, but they have been doing it all season.

Hyatt has eight 40+ yard receiving plays this year for the Vols. That's the most in college football, and the next best has just five of them. Hyatt is taking the concept of a downfield threat to an unreal level this season.

Most of the SEC can't compare with that stat from Hyatt.

Some folks may say that defenses need to prepare more for the deep shots to Hyatt. That hasn't made a difference over the last few weeks. Defenses know what is coming from the Vols' offense and star wideout, but they simply cannot contain him.

Without Cedric Tillman, Hyatt has become a household name in college football.

His downfield domination is a massive reason that the Vols are in contention for the College Football Playoff this season.
