🚨 No. 8 Tennessee stuns No. 1 Alabama in wild SEC battle 🚨
USA TODAY Sports' Paul Myerberg and Dan Wolken break down the top landing spot for coach Matt Rhule.No. 8 Tennessee knocked off top-ranked Alabama 52-49 behind the standout play of quarterback Hendon Hooker and a clutch kick from Chase McGrath. Almost as sweet for the Volunteers, they broke a 15-game losing streak to their rival with the victory.
Hooker finished 21-of-30 for 385 yards and five touchdowns as he outdueled reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and established himself as a top contender for college football's biggest individual award. In a back-and-forth game, Hooker found Jalin Hyatt for a 13-yard touchdown to tie the game late in the fourth quarter. Hyatt caught all five of Hooker's scoring passes and finished with six catches for 207 yards.
Young drove Alabama into field-goal range but a missed 50-yard kick gave the Volunteers one final chance. Hooker completed two passes and set up McGrath for a kick to win the game. He delivered with a knuckleball from 40 yards out that barely cleared the crossbar and kept Tennessee unbeaten.WHAT A WIN FOR THE VOLS.
