With 344 total yards rushing, the Vols recorded the most rushing yards against an SEC opponent since rushing for 406 total yards against Vanderbilt in 1994.

The last time UT had two 100-yard rushers and one 100-yard receiver was against Vanderbilt in 1994. James Stewart and Jay Graham each reached 121 yards rushing while Kendrick Jones had 108 receiving yards.

#11*Joshua Dobbs*connected with wide receiver #9*Von Pearsonfor a 42-yard pass completion, one yard shy of a career-long pass for Dobbs (43 yards on Nov. 30, 2013 at Kentucky). The pass marked the second-longest completion for Pearson and the Vols this the season (also, 56 yard catch from #14*Justin Worleyagainst Arkansas State on Sept. 6).

Dobbs connected with #48*Alex Ellis*for a 24-yard pass in the second quarter, putting UT on South Carolina's 43-yard line.

#1*Jalen Hurd*rushed for 125 yards against the Gamecocks, his most since rushing for 119 yards on 24 carries at Georgia on Sept. 27.

With Dobbs and Hurd's rushing performances against South Carolina, the Vols had two players with more than 100 yards rushing for the first time since Sept. 5, 2009 against Kentucky.

#2*Pig Howard*recorded 109 receiving yards on five catches, establishing a career high and first-ever 100-yard receiving game for the junior wide receiver

I hate to see Lane go down like he did. We've now lost our 2 senior starters on offense for the (likely) season.

Pretty neat to see AJ and Maggitt carrying him off though.

Jancek and Butch have a lot of fixing to do on defense. They've messed up a good thing recently, and they have to fix it.

Butch kept this team playing hard though. They didnt give up, and that's on the coach. Jake looks to have figured things out with Dobbs. I'll refrain from commenting too much on why it took so long. Just glad it happened.

Feels so good to win one. We got out coached all night, but talent and effort came through in the end. Glad I didn't type what I was thinking when Davis ran for 70!

There's this theory I've heard about recruiting and I'm no coach so I don't know whether or not it's true or even valid.

I've heard a lot of coaches look for kids that "aren't shaving" yet. I think this was the case with Dobbs in highschool and, to some extent, his freshman year. He hadn't hit his physical peak yet.

Somebody better buy that guy some razors though... After last week and tonight I'm pretty sure he's going to be shaving twice daily.

Edit: Buy =/= By
