Yes, he threw two interceptions, including the one to lose the game, he also had a fumble, and he did not dive on two fumbles that could’ve saved the Vols.
However, Joshua Dobbs was an amazing playmaker at the same time. One of those interceptions was not his fault, and neither was the fumble. Now to the good stuff.
Dobbs finished 28 of 47 for an incredible 398 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball 17 times for 57 yards. And off a great play call by Mike DeBord, he had a four-yard touchdown reception as well.
But Dobbs’s biggest attribute, once again, was his leadership. Even in a loss, and even after the six turnovers in regulation, he kept his teammates poised. Dobbs made sure to focus the offense and showed incredible leadership intangibles by not quitting.
In the process, he once again led his team back to tie the game with a very quick drive late. You couldn’t ask for more from your senior.
Now he didn’t get the job done in overtime, but he did everything else right. As a result, Dobbs was once again a gamer and showed himself to be a great Tennessee football quarterback. But this time, he had a lot of help from by far the best player in this game.
