There would be a big drop off in running game but it could be made up through the air. The wild card is how well our pass blocking would hold up. I will say losing the leadership of Dobbs would be huge and would probably cost us a game or 2Dobbs takes a lot of hits. I think we've been fortunate to this point. I do not want to lose him and think of the possibilities if that did happen...
He is the face and the star of this team...would definitely affect this team tremendously...
How much drop off to the next guy, if any? 2-3 wins?
early 4th quarter, ut is up 20-13 against uf, and has a 2nd and goal from the gator 6 yd line...
Dobbs takes the snap and rides hurd into the line as multiple gators converge on the dive play. At the last possible moment of deception dobbs pulls the ball away as he sees the de crashing into hurd. Like so many times before, there is an opening to the right side of the line as dobbs escapes to daylight. All blocks are sealed as he gallops towards a coffin nailing touchdown. Just prior to crossing the goal line an eager and defiant gator defender releases from a block and with a last gasp effort dives towards the end zone bound dobbs. Simultaneously, as dobbs right leg sets footing over the goal line, the gator defenders helmet meets the side of dobbs right knee, tearing the acl of the vols senior qb...
Most vol fans don't want to imagine such a tragic scene, but we all know, it's in the realm of possibilities and in the back of most fan's minds...
Thoughts of where the game and season go from that point.....who is next up and what impact, if any, they have going forward?

OP, you're not crazy or unintelligent for posting what you did. I just think it would have had a better reception if you posed the question as simply, "What do we do if Dobbs goes down and how much does it impact this team?" Your scenario sounded more like a movie script.
