Do you realize Vols have averaged 300+ passing yds

[wmcovol]

Per game in the SEC thus far?

No big deal, they did that in 2012 too but with 29 yds rushing per game too and 0-3 record.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Yes

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

But Josh Dobbs can't pass.

LOL.

 

[McDad]

Yes

Hey man. Long time, no see. Welcome back.

LOL.

Just. Cannot. Resist. Can you?

Did you know bama has given up 400+ yards passing to two SEC opponents (Ole Miss and Arkansas) this year...

Reverse reverse mojo plan IMO.

 

[PotS]

But Josh Dobbs can't pass.

LOL.

Preston Williams must've felt the same way you did.

Maybe PWill is also going for the "reverse psychology" plan?

Always lurking. I never stray too far.

Isnt it amazing what happens when you get good OL and great WR play? We would be getting more than that if we had less drops.

 

[10acvols]

QB, OL and WR are all starting to live up to expectations. That said, It is a lot easier to get 300 yards passing when your down 2 or 3 TD'S after half-time.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

But Josh Dobbs can't pass.

LOL.

To be fair, against A&M, more than half his yards came after the catch. You don't have to be that talented to dink and dunk.

It's hard to catch when it's a spiral and it hits you in between the eyes !

I believe Dobbs has gotten better as a passer each year, but I think he was the scapegoat for the receivers and Oline last year. He still makes the line look good. Except for the ATM game it was a jailbreak on any obvious passing down. Dobbs leg save the day keeping the d-lines honest.

 

[alwaysvol]

Yep, I watch the games.

No but you can be smart and not force a throw and that's what he did, with the exception of the OT throw. His receivers made something happen. 300 yards passing against the defenses we have played is impressive. It don't matter if you're throwing it downfield or if you nickel and dime it down field.

 

[ATLVols]

Dobbs has been excellent this year!

You do realize that is the case for a lot of QB's on a lot of teams.

 

[rickyb712]

honestly all passing numbers go up when you trail every game

Let me get this straight, teams are now allowing UT to throw the ball simply because they are ahead even though they were undefeated. That is a pretty awesome theory you have there

No actually its not. Usually when a team is up by that much, they know the other team HAS to throw. So they unleash their best pass rushers and install their best pass defense.
