What can you say but he played a great game.
Joshua Dobbs threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth score Saturday as Tennessee trounced Kentucky 50-16 to continue its mastery of this annual series.
Tennessee (5-5, 2-4 SEC) beat Kentucky (5-6, 2-6) for the 29th time in their last 30 meetings. Kentucky lost its fifth straight overall in a matchup between two teams chasing their first bowl bids since 2010.
The Volunteers can become bowl eligible by beating Missouri at home next week or by winning at Vanderbilt on Nov. 29. Kentucky, which has next week off, must win Nov. 29 at Louisville to have a shot at a bowl bid.
Dobbs went 19 of 27 for 297 yards and threw two touchdown passes to Von Pearson and one to Justin Croom. Tennessee’s Jalen Hurd rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.
Austin MacGinnis kicked three field goals for Kentucky, including a school-record 54-yarder.
Tennessee’s offense continued its remarkable late-season surge that has coincided with Dobbs’ emergence. Tennessee had failed to score a touchdown in back-to-back SEC games against Florida and Ole Miss earlier this season. The Vols have scored 95 points in Dobbs’ two starts, their highest total in back-to-back SEC games since 2003.
The Vols had to change quarterbacks last month after Justin Worley tore the labrum in his throwing shoulder, knocking him out for the remainder of the season. After Nathan Peterman played the first two series of a 34-20 loss to Alabama on Oct. 25, Dobbs took over and hasn’t looked back.
Dobbs rallied Tennessee to a 45-42 overtime victory at South Carolina two weeks ago while setting a single-game school rushing record for a quarterback and becoming the first Vol ever to throw for 300 yards and run for 100 yards in the same game. He showed Saturday that performance against South Carolina was no fluke.

Dobbs is going to be a good one for Tennessee , Darn it! Can't we ever find an opponent who is trying to find a QB whenever we play them If the team is searching then usually the team has no confidence in the QB either!

His stats have been just as impressive as his 2-0 start.

The young man has poise and never gets rattled in the pocket. Signs of a good quarterback!
