I'm torn, happy for Dobbs and us as fans, but I feel bad for Justin at the same time. Really appreciate what he put forth to get us where we are.

Same here. Dude is tough as nails and gave his all for Tennessee. At the end of the day, that's all you can ask for from a player.


I won't lie though, I'm excited as hell that Dobbs is the man

I'm excited to see what Dobbs can do after a full week of practice with the 1's. I noticed that we came out in the pistol a few times last week after Dobbs came into the game. I wonder how much of the playbook they haven't been able to use since they didn't have a mobile QB?

A lot of people don't realize how much more dynamic Dobbs is going to make the offense, whether it's now or a year from now. Nobody can predict how a true freshmen is going to come out and play, but I feel a lot better heading into every game with the skill set he brings to the table compared to what Worley did.

He runs better, he's more cerebral, he throws better. I think he gives us a better chance to win games moving forward. We'll see what's up after the Mizz game
