Twice, University of Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs was supposed to redshirt. Twice, the starter in front of him sustained an injury, and twice, Dobbs was thrown into a near-unsalvageable situation, his redshirt burned while the Volunteers trailed Alabama.
The first game, in Bryant-Denny Stadium in 2013, Dobbs entered in the third quarter after Worley left the game with an injured thumb. Worley had been unimpressive, throwing 8 of 15 for 120 yards and two interceptions. Dobbs entered with a 35-0 deficit, finished the game with a platable 5 of 12 for 75 yards and no interceptions and rushing for 19 yards on 3 carries.
