1. The kid played well against a ridiculous Bama defense in a hostile environment. He showed poise and some good decision making.

2. I am assuming the kid has finally gotten some serious time with the 1st team this week. I wouldn't be surprised if he had more reps with the 1's this week than the rest of the season combined. This has got to help.

3. Butch gets it. I can only assume he is going to gameplan around Dobbs' strengths. Give this staff a week to scheme and you'd figure we'll see some playcalling that lends well to Dobbs' abilities.

4. Dobbs also should give us a little bit of an edge with the read-option. Apparently Dobbs is black - this is yet to be determined. I think he's just fast enough to make defenses pause - which is the purpose of the Read-Option.

5. The Mizzou D-Line is good, I get it. Our O-Line is great. If our O-Line can step up, I think Dobbs can take care of the ball and go to work against a suspect secondary.

Thanks for pointing out that he's black since I'm sure most people didn't know that,LOL!

I only see people on my Vols team and to me they're all Orange and a persons race and skin color isn't a factor to me because they can either play ball or they shouldn't be on our football team.

I think Dobbs and our whole team will step it up the last games of our season and will WIN them all.

7. Steverino is his biggest fan and feels compelled to start at least one Dobbs thread per hour.

He looks speedier than Worley/Peterman, but he's no Mike Vick. I think he's just fast enough to make defenses pause - which is the purpose of the Read-Option.

I can you see your obvious contention in Steverino's comment on the color of Josh's skin. However, he didn't say anything wrong or racist.

The day that we all truly ignore race, skin color, and other physical traits is the day that we can use them to describe a person and no one thinks anything of it.

Freshman quarterback on first start. Looking forward to seeing progression. Still looking at VOLS winning 7 games. So far has been a very interesting year. I believe the groundwork is being laid for the future and so far i like what i see. This will be remembered as the year of the VOLS emergence of the elite SEC. Bring it on home VOLS.

Dobbs needs to learn how to slide on his keepers or slip out of bounds. Don't want to see the kid get injured.

Is this "black" term a football reference?...or does it mean that he's REAL SMART?...hard to tell with all the hipster lingo going on nowadays :pimp_2:

Black or not, eyebrow or not, he is going to do well. Although, being born African American alone increases your odds of playing in the NFL by more than 13 times.
