Offensive Line
Tennessee rushed for nearly 300 yards, but much of that came on plays during which the line didn’t block particularly well. Jalen Hurd and Joshua Dobbs did a ton to help this group. On what seemed like a dozen occasions, Dobbs and Hurd were able to make something out of nothing. To their credit, this group did execute well on several plays, including the Dobbs to Jennings to Dobbs touchdown. Dobbs was sacked three times and probably avoided a handful more. Late in the game, the Vol offensive line got whipped and Tennessee’s offense came to a screeching halt.
