On Saturday, Tennessee’s offense exploded in a big way — beating the Missouri Tigers by a score of 63-37.
Quarterback Josh Dobbs did not disappoint in his final collegiate home game. The senior out of Georgia combined for 413 total yards and five touchdowns. Dobbs led the team in rushing with 190 yards and two touchdowns on only 10 carries. He was also very efficient in the passing game.
Though the victory was a great one for the Vols, they found out earlier in the day that they will not have a chance to win the SEC East. Florida took care of business with its narrow victory over LSU. As such, the Gators will represent the division in the conference title game versus Alabama.
UT head coach Butch Jones spoke to the media after the game:
Butch Jones: Vol fans are the best in America. I love you guys.
