As Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs watched himself on screen in a darkened Anderson Training Center meeting room with offensive coordinator Mike DeBord and his fellow signal-callers, he saw himself throw a touchdown pass in short-yardage action.
When Pig Howard crossed the goal line, the Dobbs on the practice video put his arms beside his helmet and raised them upward in celebration. He then sprinted to where his teammates congregated.
"Is that some emotion?" DeBord asked.
"A little bit," answered a chuckling Dobbs.
"Well," DeBord countered, "it's good to see."
Indeed, as the 6'3", 212-pound rising junior takes the next steps toward being a "CEO quarterback," as head coach Butch Jones calls it, the largest leap is loosening up.
