#NeedToKnow

#ARKvsTENN

>> QB Joshua Dobbs became the first player in FBS since 2003 to lead his team in rushing yards (136), passing yards (83) and receiving yards (58) in a game as he piled up 277 total yards at Florida. >> Dobbs joined Indiana’s Antwaan Randle El (1998 vs Cincy) as the only players in last 20 years with 50+ passing, 50+ receiving, and 100+ rushing yards in same game. >> Dobbs’ 136 rushing yards were the most by a Vol vs. Florida since Travis Stephens had 226 in 2001. >> Dobbs and Jalen Hurd (102) combined to have UT’s first-ever game with two 100-yard rushers vs. Florida in history. >> Dobbs’ 62-yard rush at Florida was the longest by a Vols quarterback since Jimmy Streater (1977). >> Dobbs was first UT QB to catch a pass since Peyton Manning had a 10-yard catch vs. Ark. on 11/15/1997. >> In Dobbs’ last 10 starts at QB, the Vols have a 7-3 record and are averaging 37.8 points and 430 yards per game. >> More on Page 6

>> The Vols have 165 points over the first four games, marking the most through four games since scoring 167 to start the 1996 season. >> The Vols have played 40 true freshmen over the last two seasons (a nation-high 23 in 2014 and 17 in 2015) for the most of any program over the last two years. >> Jalen Hurd has rushed for 100 yards in four of the last five games, including three in a row (122 vs. Iowa, 123 vs. Bowling Green, 109 vs. Oklahoma and 102 at Florida). >> For the first time since 1994, the Vols have had multiple games with two 100-yard rushers in the same season (vs. BGSU & at UF). >> Evan Berry is fourth the nation and first in the SEC in kickoff return average with 38.3. >> Trevor Daniel is fifth in the NCAA and leads the SEC in punting average at 48.6 with 11 of 22 punts traveling 50-plus yards. >> UT ranks fifth in the NCAA with fewest turnovers lost (2) and lead the SEC in turnover margin at +5. >> More on Page 5

>> UT leads the series with Arkansas, 13-4, with the Hogs winning the last game, 49-7 in 2011. >> Tennessee is 6-1 against Arkansas in Knoxville, winning the last six meetings. >> The Vols and last Hogs last played at Neyland Stadium on 11/10/2007 as Eric Berry (2 INT) led UT to a 34-13 victory. >> The previous meeting in Knoxville was an epic six-overtime 4138 Vols’ victory on 10/8/2002 as Jason Witten caught a game-winning TD pass in the sixth extra session. >> In 2000, Tennessee took a 35-0 first-quarter lead vs. Arkansas and cruised to its biggest win in the series, 63-20, as Travis Henry ran for 214 yards. >> One of the most memorable games in UT history took place vs. Arkansas in 1998 as QB Clint Stoerner famously stumbled and fumbled with 1:43 to play to allow the eventual National Champion Vols to rally for a 28-24 win. >> More on Page 17
