There's not a soul who wouldn't have liked to have seen Hendon Hooker finish his Vols career in style, but his final season was cruelly cut short when he tore his ACL in the fourth quarter of last week's loss to South Carolina.

Now, it's time for Milton Mania.

On this edition of "The Volunteer State," Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's Adam Sparks and John Adams discuss the Vols' transition to the Joe Milton era, and they reflect on the horrors of the loss to the Gamecocks that knocked Tennessee out of the College Football Playoff picture.
