Tennessee coach Butch Jones said after the game that quarterback Josh Dobbs “willed” the Vols to Saturday’s win. He was right. Dobbs threw for a career-high 312 yards on 25-of-42 passing, ran for 118 yards on 18 carries and accounted for five touchdowns. Dobbs missed some throws early in the game, but he carried Tennessee on his back in the second half and notched a signature win.
