He has enjoyed his best season on the field, passing for a career-high 2,125 yards with 15 touchdowns to just five interceptions. He also ran for a career-best 623 yards, breaking Jimmy Streater's single-season record for most rushing yards by a quarterback (593 in 1978).
Tennessee is bowl-eligible for the second-straight year and on Dec. 6 the Vols will learn where they'll play their postseason game.
