“Look for the Vols to come out strong and show the country they are one of the best in the country,” May said.

“[Hendon] Hooker is unbelievable…He also runs the ball very, very well. They’re just explosive,” Holtz said.

Quarterback Hendon Hooker completed 18 of his 24 passes for 276 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. Receiver Jalin Hyatt caught 7 passes for 174 yards and 2 touchdowns.
