“They feel like, ‘We may have lost a bunch in a row, but I am playing so we are winning this year.’ That is the mentality every athlete takes to the game”. Tennessee was in a battle all game long with the Bobcats before finally pulling away in the fourth quarter. Tennessee offensive tackle Chance Hall likely will make his first appearance of the season Saturday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last month. But the one dimension that was still working for Dobbs almost knocked the Gators into another dimension. “Let’s face it, they ran it down our throat”. They should’ve beaten them previous year in The Swamp, too. Jalen Hurd is Tennessee’s top rusher with 270 yards and 2 touchdowns and Josh Malone is the leading receiver with 9 and Preston Williams and Alvin Kamara each have 8 catches. Dobbs is averaging 6.5 yards per attempt and has just two completions of 30 yards or more. The Ohio University Bobcats visited the University of Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium in a non-conference NCAA football game on Saturday September 17, 2016.

“No, I wouldn’t say a tougher week in terms of prep. Austin has played his share of football games”.
“It’s really what you train for and your mindset over the summer and winter when you’re exhausted and don’t want to do an extra rep”, quarterback Josh Dobbs said.
No one really knows what to expect from Jones’ squad in this one thanks to the fact that they have been inconsistent against far less talented teams. Florida appears to be the much more relaxed and confident football team at this point. “Last year he put a hurting on us pretty bad”.
Appalachian State keyed on him and held Dobbs to minus-4 rushing yards.
The Gators could have the best starting corners in college football, but depth behind Tabor and Wilson remains a concern, Gray said.
NUMBERS GAME: Tennessee has fumbled 11 times this season but has lost only one of them. Too much pursuit. Badly directed pursuit.
This weekend, Dobbs will focus his mental energies, competitive juices and superior athletic skills on a problem he and the Vols have been unable to solve. “Now, they’ll never forget the guy”, Harry said.
Fans also shared what they would give up for the Vols to get the win over the Gators. To us its a great game because its our first SEC game and its a 3:30 CBS game.
“What I like is how hard they’re playing, but more than that, how disciplined and how well they’re playing together”, McElwain said. But moving forward, he’s out for the foreseeable future. “He’s a great player”. The Gators have won each of the last six games when Corso put on the Gator head.
The scars from previous losses may linger when the Tennessee takes the field against the Gators on Saturday.
“We’ve just been motivated to really hold ourselves to a higher standard and just show everybody across the nation that we’re not coming to play any amusing games”, UF linebacker Jarrad Davis said. “And we kind of made the moment bigger than what it really was, and we were out there doing things that we naturally do not do”.

“I try not to live in the past, but if we did that, that was good. As far as the ‘Rocky Top” thing, I guess we’ll hear it enough when we get there, so there’s probably no reason to do it now. We’re a lot more disciplined than we were past year. “You do it because you know that’s what’s going to set you apart when the season comes around. It seems like when we step out there on the field on Saturdays we know exactly what to do and we know exactly how to do it”. Opponents have been able to generate a push against the Volunteers’ front seven this year, as the defense is giving up 152.7 yards per game on the ground. It’s on everybody – line, linebackers, secondary. Jarrad Davis has led the Florida defense with 18 tackles and 2 sacks, while Marcus Maye has added 14 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception.
