Joe Milton is Tennessee’s starting quarterback. After the Vols’ win against Bowling Green, head coach Josh Heupel assured the media that the staff is confident moving forward with Milton at the helm, despite the offense’s inconsistency.
Heupel named Milton the starter on Monday of this week, and the team also released the official depth chart for Bowling Green the same day. While Vol fans knew Milton would start, the staff left the backup quarterback officially undecided with neither Hendon Hooker or Harrison Bailey getting the second-string nod.
But late in the game, with the contest’s outcome all but officially decided, Tennessee fans found out that the backup was Hooker as he came in once the Vols pulled their starters.
