Tennessee enters this weekend’s game against Florida at The Swamp with some uncertainty at the quarterback position.

The starter for the first 2 games, Joe Milton, is still dealing with an injury, and it was unclear if he’d be ready to face the Gators.

It appears we have our answer, as Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports reports that backup Hendon Hooker will make his second-straight start for the Vols:

Last week, in a rout of FCS Tennessee Tech, Hooker threw for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also led the Vols with 64 rushing yards and a touchdown.

We’ll see how he fares in an SEC road game in a raucous environment in The Swamp.
