Well Joshua Dobbs has returned to form. While it’s still hard to forgive him for what happened against the South Carolina Gamecocks, and although he struggled with accuracy at times on Saturday, Dobbs still proved himself to be the warrior who can rack up tons of stats very quickly.

This was another five-touchdown performance by Dobbs. Despite a slow start on the first drive, he finished 11 of 17 for 223 yards and three touchdowns with only one interception.

He then added 14 carries for 147 yards to lead the team in rushing with another two touchdowns.

That’s 370 total yards with five total touchdowns and over 10 and a half yards per carry. Dobbs finished with a QBR of 96.4, which was an amazing stat.

But more than the numbers, Dobbs deserves credit for continuing to stay poised throughout the game.

Once again, Tennessee fell behind after he had a bad first drive and Kentucky marched down the field for a touchdown.

After that, he responded with a quick touchdown drive of his own, which included a 41-yard run and a perfect pass to Josh Smith.

Then, he showed how great he is at improvising in the second half after checking off of a flea flicker to make sure it properly got to Josh Malone for a touchdown.

The guy is simply a great college quarterback and just the type of leader Tennessee football needs down the stretch of this season. He showed it again last Saturday.
