One of those MSN features, "Top Ten Takeaways From Biggest Bowl Games This Weekend." And No. 1 is:
1. Joshua Dobbs played his heart out in final game at Tennessee
The 2016 season started out with such promise for the Vols, who won their first five games and were being considered as a potential playoff contender. Then came a three-game losing skid, and those dreams were crushed. However, thanks in large part to the efforts of senior quarterback Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee bounced back to win three of its last four games, earning a trip to the Music City Bowl with a record of 8-4.
Facing a tough B1G team in Nebraska on Friday, Dobbs willed the Vols to victory. He accounted for a quartet of touchdowns in Tennessees 38-24 win over the Huskers.
Both through the air and on the ground, Dobbs was sharp. He went 23-of-38 through the air for 291 yards and a touchdown pass while adding another 118 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries. All told, Dobbs accounted for 409 of the teams 521 total yards in this game.
Hes left a legacy, said head coach Butch Jones about Dobbs (h/t WATE.com). I think it will be a great springboard for our quarterbacks and really managing your time, the expectations that come with playing the quarterback position at the University of Tennessee, the scrutiny and being able to handle the social media, not being too high too low, just consistency in performance.
Not surprisingly, the senior won MVP of the Music City Bowl for his tremendous performance.
