Former Vol QB Josh Dobbs To Start Friday

Well, that didnt take very long.

Even though it is technically by default, former Vols quarterback Josh Dobbs will start for his new team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in Friday night’s preseason game against the Giants.

Both of the Steelers’ other quarterbacks are injured. Ben Roethlisberger left practice early due to an injured ankle on a low hit last Thursday. With Roethlisberger’s recent injury history, the move to start Dobbs is probably a precaution, especially with Landry Jones already hurt.

Excuse me while I be cliche, but it only takes one unfortunate play to become a starter.
