Dobbs' numbers multiplied over a full season.
All the more reason why Jones was an effing moron for trying to redshirt him. Not only did he squander a golden opportunity to break the Florida streak, he spotted Alabama a 2 TD lead by starting the Special Olympics kid before finally taking the redshirt off Dobbs. Even though he knew he was going to play Dobbs, he waited until he was down 13 to put him in...and Tennessee played Alabama even the rest of the way.
I'm not necessarily down on Dobbs as a QB, but the more you prop up Dobbs, the more of an imbecile it makes Jones for not playing him.

It's more complicated than that. Butch was trying to preserve his redshirt for the whole season. Partly because of his academics, partly because last year was basically a wash year (even though we ended up exceeding expectations by a little bit - because of Dobbs). Worley was supposed to stay healthy. When he got hurt and Peterman (obviously) couldn't hack it. He had to burn it.
