Dobbs, big returns help Tennessee trounce Kentucky 52-21

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Tennessee took an indirect route to produce its typical rout of Kentucky. Joshua Dobbs accounted for four touchdowns and Tennessee scored on both a kickoff return and punt return Saturday in a 52-21 blowout that continued the Volunteers' domination of this annual series. "Our kids responded," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. "They've been resilient. They just do whatever you ask of them." Tennessee (4-4, 2/3 SEC) has won 30 of its last 31 meetings with Kentucky (4-4, 2-4). The Wildcats' lone victory during that stretch was a 10-7 decision in 2011. A busy weekend sports schedule in Kentucky forced Tennessee to get creative with its itinerary for this road trip. Because Lexington was hosting both this game and the Breeders' Cup on Saturday, there weren't enough available local hotel rooms for the Volunteers.
