In another defense-optional game, Tennessee took care of Missouri by a basketball-like score of 63-37 in Knoxville.

On Senior Day, quarterback Joshua Dobbs wrapped up his career in front of the Neyland Stadium faithful with 223 yards passing, 190 more rushing and 5 total touchdowns. The 190 yards on the ground marked a career high.

Based on Florida’s victory over LSU earlier Saturday, the Volunteers have been eliminated from the race in the East. Despite UT being an overwhelming favorite to capture the division back in the preseason, the Gators will go to Atlanta for the second year in a row. Simply speaking, Dobbs was never able to get the Vols over the hump.

Be sure to watch the video above for some quick commentary discussing Dobbs’s performance and legacy on Rocky Top.
