Stetson Bennett: 3,609 total yards, 27 total touchdowns and six interceptions Hendon Hooker: 3,565 yards, 32 total touchdowns and two interceptions in two fewer games than Bennett Pretty obvious which one deserves to be a finalist. Voters got it wrong.

It's November in year two of the Josh Heupel era and Tennessee is 8-1 with wins over Alabama, Florida and LSU. Every single UT fan would've signed up for this. And most would've told you that this scenario was very unlikely to happen. Losing sucks, but keep it in perspective.

This is incredible. As soon as Hooker got up, everyone already knew what to do. Hooker never blinked, caught Kentucky off guard bc of his composure and ability get everyone set, and picked up the first at a pivotal point early in the game.
