TE Jason Croom, 76.5
WR Josh Malone, 74.7
HB John Kelly, 68.6
Up-and-down game from the offense
This wasn’t a great game from Tennessee’s offense overall, a unit that really benefitted from Dobbs’ playmaking ability when things broke down. Coleman Thomas led the offensive line, as he only allowed one QB pressure on 43 pass-blocking snaps. Tennessee’s offensive line in total only surrendered seven QB pressures on the day, with just one of those being a hit. Tight end Jason Croom had just two catches on three targets for 38 yards, but his 80.0 run-blocking grade led the Volunteers. WR Josh Malone caught five of six targets for 120 yards and a touchdown, and John Kelly gained 62 of his 70 yards after contact while forcing five missed tackles.
