SATURDAY’S STAR

Take your pick. Quarterback Josh Dobbs totaled 233 yards of offense and three touchdowns. Von Pearson caught a pair of touchdown passes. Jalen Hurd ran for 120 yards, Alvin Kamara added 99 and Dobbs chipped in 93 (and wasn’t sacked), so the offensive line deserves plenty of credit. Tennessee’s defense and special teams chipped in nine points and Aaron Medley hit three field goals.
