No. 11 Tennessee (9-2, 5-2 SEC) will play at Vanderbilt (5-6, 2-5 SEC) Saturday in Week 13.

Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. EST (SEC Network) at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The in-state contest is the regular-season finale for both teams.

Redshirt senior Joe Milton III will serve as Tennessee’s starting quarterback versus the Commodores, replacing Hendon Hooker.

Hooker’s collegiate career ended Nov. 19 at South Carolina.

The 6-foot-4, 218-pound Hooker suffered a season-ending injury versus the Gamecocks with a torn ACL in his left knee.

Due to injury, Hooker replaced Milton III as the Vols’ starting quarterback against Pittsburgh last season. Milton III started five games for Michigan in 2020 before transferring to Tennessee.

Below are Milton’s statistics as a collegiate starting quarterback.
