Follow up by Roanoke Times on Hendon Hooker's Health and Fumbles

Roanoke Times interviewed Hooker's father. Here is his explanation for what happened.

His father said that Hooker's spasms were a response to the cold, and that he had similar issues during a game.

This also grabbed my attention regarding Hooker's first fumble:

""He saw the corner was 12 yards off his receiver and he wanted to hurry up and get his hands on the ball," Alan Hooker said,with a chuckle. "He took his eyes off the ball, that's all that was. We had talked during the week, 'Dad, we have some opportunities where coaches allow me some freedom where I see that guy is off I can get it to him right now. We can make plays.' Most teams have played Virginia Tech's receivers press-man and made it tough for them to get off the ball and get separation...He just took his eyes off it."

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.
