His 166 rushing yards set the Tennessee single-game record for rushing yards by a quarterback.
Became the first quarterback in UT history to pass for 300 yards AND rush for 100 yards in a single game.
His 467 yards of total offense was the fourth-most in a game in school history.
Dobbs' three rushing touchdowns were the most for a UT quarterback since Tee Martin in 1999.
Led Tennessee from a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit to an overtime win. The comeback began with 4:52 left in the clock, the latest in a game the Vols have ever overcome a deficit as large as 14 points.
Posted the first 300-yard passing game for UT since November 2012.
