He had that big receiving TD as well and had two runs over 40 yards. That with his o-line doing a horrible job protecting him. UT offense last year him and Jalen Hurd. How many teams in the SEC would he not start in right now? I can't think of many

Our receiving corp was also devastated by injuries and dismissal.

- Marquez North was supposed to be our #1 receiver. He injured his knee in fall camp and was never the same all year. Finished the season with only 7 catches and was in and out of the lineup every other week.
- Pig Howard was supposed to be our #2 receiver. He was dismissed after week 2 for repeatedly failing drug tests.
- Jason Croom was supposed to be our #4 receiver. He suffered a knee injury in bowl practice the year before and missed the entire season.

The only receiver in our original starting lineup to play consistently last year was sophomore Josh Malone.

Because of all the injuries and dismissal, we were forced to start 2 true freshmen at wide receiver for several games. One of them, Jauan Jennings, was converted from QB which he played in the spring. The other true freshmen, Preston Williams, while a talented recruit which several sites rated as a 5 star, suffered an ACL tear in November of his senior year of high school and missed all of fall camp with an issue over his ACT score. Thus he played last year less than a year after ACL surgery and without any training camp. Needless to say he was rusty and out of rhythm.


So as you can see the lack of quality experienced wide receivers was a huge reason for Dobbs struggles throwing the ball last year. The guy can throw. It was the guys around him that failed.

Dobbs will explode this year passing the ball.

His receivers are finally healthy. Guys like Preston Williams are finally healthy from the ACL surgery and have experience catching balls from Dobbs. Josh Malone looks like he might finally start living up to his 5 star ranking. We signed 5 receivers in the 2016 class. All of them look good in fall camp so far. The talent is there. Hopefully they stay healthy this year.

All in all receiver should no longer be a weakness. The offensive line should be better with more experience. All of this sets up Dobbs for a huge year throwing the ball. Dobbs will throw for 3,500 yards and 30 TDs to win the heisman trophy in 2016.

Naw, there was no excuse for him not being able to make all sec. None at all.

read my post a few posts up about how much his receiving corp was devastated by injuries and dismissal last year.

Also the Tennessee o-line was weak. They couldn't hold up blocks so we couldn't do anything beyond short throws and screens.

Naw, what they speak on?
His rags to riches story about growing up bouncing place to place, sleeping in his car, almost having to quit school until he found a credit card that had been sent to him and allowed him to stay on.

Justifying why college football players shouldn't get paid at that. I call bullshyt on his story. He had to have something to be able to walk on at Alabama. I know he wasn't the wealthiest but he wasn't scum poor.
