>> The Vols’ 38-31 comeback win over #19 Georgia tied for the third-largest comeback in UT his- tory and is the second-largest in Neyland Stadium history for Vols.

>> Walter Camp National Player of Week & SEC Off. Player of Week (10/12) Joshua Dobbs had 430 yards of total offense in Vols’ win.

>> Dobbs had the second 300-yard passing/100-yard rushing game of his career with 312 passing and 118 rushing vs. Georgia.

>> Dobbs is the only player in Ten- nessee history to accomplish the feat and third in the SEC over the last 20 years, joining Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel.

>> In Dobbs’ last 12 starts, the Vols have a 8-4 record and are averag- ing 36.1 points, 432 yards/game.

>> Led by Jalen Hurd (95.3 yards/ game), Vols are second in rushing yards per game in the SEC (222.0) with four games of 200-plus yards.

>> The Vols have played 40 true freshmen over the last two seasons (nation-high 23 in 2014 and 17 in 2015) for the most of any program over the last two years

>> Vols are second in the NCAA in kickoff return average (37.3).

>> Evan Berry leads the nation in kickoff return average with 39.3.

>> Berry is one of four players in the nation with two kickoff returns for touchdown (vs. WCU & Ark.)

>> Berry’s 34.4 career kickoff re- turn average is No. 1 in UT history.

>> With two kickoff return touch- downs, Berry is first Vol since Willie Gault (3 in 1980) with multiple kick- off return scores in a season.

>> The Vols are one of seven teams with a kickoff and punt return for touchdown this season.

>> When the Vols had a kickoff re- turn (Berry) and punt return (Alvin Kamara) for TD vs. W. Carolina, it was the first time since 1950, UT had both returns in the same game.

>> Trevor Daniel is fourth in the NCAA and second in the SEC in punting average at 47.6

>> Of Daniel’s 33 punts, 14 of trav- elled 50-plus yards and 13 have landed inside the 20-yard line

>> Cameron Sutton is ninth in the NCAA punt return average (16.0).
