Tennessee Offense Explodes in 49-36 Win vs Kentucky

Tennessee ran the ball 41 times for 376 yards, its 9.2 yards per carry out-doing Kentucky’s 8.1 via 443 yards on 55 carries. But while Kentucky quarterback Stephen Johnson struggled to 12-of-29 for 192 yards, Josh Dobbs did it to the Wildcats one more time: 11-of-18 for 223 yards, and three passing touchdowns to add to his pair on the ground.

The total for the Vol offense: 599 yards on just 59 plays. The yards are the most the Vols have gained against anyone other than Texas A&M (684) this season. But the 59 plays are the fewest the Vols have run against FBS competition this year (after getting 471 yards on just 52 plays against Tennessee Tech last week).
