The game that will likely decide the SEC East now has a start time and television station for the November 5th matchup. That’s right, the No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers visit Athens for a game against No. 1 and reigning National Champion Georgia that weekend. We now know that game has been selected for the 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS, with longtime SEC color analyst Gary Danielson joining Brad Nessler in the booth for a massive college football game.

As good as it gets, really. Assuming both teams take care of business this weekend, it will set up a matchup between two undefeated powerhouses the winner booking their trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship bout.

Dawgs vs. Vols. 3:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Expect College GameDay there as well.

Hendon Hooker addresses new school record for consecutive games with passing touchdown

This season for quarterback Hendon Hooker and his Tennessee Volunteers is shaping up to be one for the history books. And in Tennessee’s 65-24 victory over UT-Martin, the Vols signal caller added another record to his collection.

Hooker now owns the Volunteers’ record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass, previously held by Heath Shuler. Shuler, set the mark in Tennessee’s 1993 season, where he also finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting behind Florida State’s Charlie Ward.

During the Volunteer’s postgame press conference, Hooker addresses the new school record for consecutive games with a passing touchdown and the words shared with him by the former record holder.

“It’s a blessing. I haven’t had that chance to talk to Heath Shuler yet,” said Hooker. “I was talking to Navy, his son yesterday. And he was telling me, ‘Hey you gotta grab a picture with my dad after you break his record.’ And then last week talking to Heath he was telling me, ‘Hey you’ll break that record.’ So it’s an honor to get that encouragement from him and to actually go out there and do it.”
