The Best of Bob Shoop: 2013 Vanderbilt at Tennessee

The worst game of Josh Dobbs' career came against Tennessee's new defensive coordinator

This year's Rocky Top Tennessee magazine includes a look back at each of Bob Shoop's seasons as defensive coordinator at Vanderbilt and Penn State. Last week we looked at one of the standout individual games in Shoop's tenure, the 2014 showdown between Penn State and eventual national champion Ohio State. The near miss against the Buckeyes showed Shoop's defenses could play at a championship level against championship competition. But the performance Tennessee fans will remember most came a year earlier, and made many of us (including me) doubt Josh Dobbs would ever be the answer at quarterback.
