According to bleacherreport they are. What do you guys think? I also think Tennessee's QB group could be in Bama's spot. I think Hooker is as good as Young and Milton is the most talented backup in the country. Add in Tayven as well.
Not sure why it won't post the link. Here is the write up.
1. TENNESSEE'S WR'S
Much like the Buckeyes, Tennessee lost its alpha receiver before the meat of the season even started when Cedric Tillman—a player several think will be one of the top five receivers in next year's draft— suffered a high ankle sprain against Akron.
It hasn't mattered one bit for QB Hendon Hooker and Co.
The third-ranked Vols have the nation's No. 5 passing attack and are first in total offense and second in scoring offense, and that's against a schedule that has featured four ranked opponents in the team's first six games. By comparison, no other squad in the Top Five has played more than two ranked opponents.
Nothing has stopped Tennessee's offense, though. When Tillman went down, coach Josh Heupel inserted senior Ramel Keyton, who has 15 catches for 280 yards and a touchdown.
During last weekend's monumental upset of Alabama in which UT exorcized 15 years of demons with a 52-49 last-second win, Jalin Hyatt tied an SEC record with five receiving touchdowns. For the season, he leads the nation with 10 scoring receptions and has 33 catches for 593 yards.
USC transfer Bru McCoy has been a huge weapon, especially in big-play situations and when getting yards after the catch, amassing 22 catches for 389 yards and a pair of scores. Before he went down in his third game, Tillman had 17 grabs for 246 yards and a touchdown.
Hooker distributes the ball to weapons all over the field, and when Tillman comes back (likely for Kentucky on October 29), the Vols will have just one more star pass-catcher. This is the deepest, most productive unit in the country.
