Time and again the Vols found themselves in third and long, and time and again the Vols converted.
The first and last takeaway from this post should be, "How about we try it with fewer third downs next time?" But if we're insisting on third downs, Josh Dobbs is insisting on making a play.
The Vols have been sneaky good at it all year, converting 45.2% of their third downs to rank 25th in the nation and second in the SEC. Tonight they were 9 of 18 (while holding South Carolina to 6 of 17). And eight of Tennessee's nine conversions came on the Vols' five scoring drives.
