Joshua Dobbs proves it is his time
Tennessee gapatagonia clearanceve Joshua Dobbs his first start of the season Saturday night. But it was his finish that mattered most against South Carolina at Williams Brice Stadium.
The sophomore quarterback brought Tennessee back from a two touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter before the Vols finished off the Gamecocks in overtime, 45 42.
They won with a defense that looked overwhpatagonia discount code red2elmpatagonia better sweater coat ebayed for much of four quarters, but delivered back to back sacks in overtime to clinch the improbable victory.
And they won with a sensational performance by Dobbs.
You thought he played well in a 34 20 loss to Alabama last week? That was just a warm up.
He ran for 166 yards and three touchdowns against the Gamecocks. He completed 23 of discount patagonia north face4patagonia discount code red00 passes for 301 yards and two more touchdowns.
He looked unstoppable at times. He patagonia windproof fleece jacket reviewalso looked undaunted when he got the ball with the Vols down by seven points, no timeouts and 1:23 to play in regulation.
All he did was lead them 85 yards in nine plays, the last of which was a 9 yard touchdown pass to Jason Croom.
Tennessee hero was the very same player coach Butch Jones wanted to redshirt until last week.
Not even an injury to starting quarterback Justin Worley gave Dobbs a start. Instead, the Vols started Nathan Peterman last week.

Trust me. He wake up when the stadium lights come on.
He was the star of the spring game. He was UT star of the Alabama game. He was the star of the South Carolina game.
Notice a trend.
Just play him. He will take care of the rest.
It not just the talent he has shown. It what he has done for the rest of the offense.
Suddenly, freshman running back Jalen Hurd can show the skills that mpatagonia everlong review 935ade him one of the most sought after recruits in the country. He rushed 21 times for 125 yards and caught seven passes for 58 yards against South Carolina.

And opatagonia guide pants around your kneesffensive coordinator Mike Bajakian, whose play calling was under fire from fans, looked pretty smart against the Gamecocks.
You have to wonder what if Dobbs had been UT starting quarterback all season. Would the Vols have beaten Florida or Georgia or both? Would they be in the running for the SEC East title?
