A Tennessee Volunteers (1-1) win was essentially expected this weekend considering the opponent in the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (0-2). But nothing is ever guaranteed in college football until the final whistle.
There were no surprises on Saturday, however, as the Vols cruised to a 56-0 victory over the Golden Eagles. Hendon Hooker led the way with four total touchdowns and the Tennessee defense smothered the Tech offense en route to its first shutout of the year and the first shoutout since 2019.
The Vols received the ball to start the game and Hendon Hooker ran onto the field as Tennessee’s starting quarterback.
