KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Joshua Dobbs threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores -- including a career-long 70-yarder -- in his final home game Saturday as No. 19 Tennessee won a 63-37 shtout with Missouri.Dobbs was 15 of 22 for 223 yards with two touchdown passes to Jauan Jennings and one to Josh Malone. He rushed for a career-high 190 yards on just 10 carries.You can just see the confidence he has in himself and everybody around him, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.Tennessee (8-3, 4-3 SEC) has won three straight games and has scored over 40 points in all of them. This marks the first time since 1995 that the Volunteers have scored 40-plus points in three consecutive games.The Vols won despite allowing 740 yards in total offense, the highest single-game total ever by a Tennessee opponent. Troy gained 721 yards in a 55-48 loss to Tennessee in 2012.Damarea Crockett rushed for 225 yards and Ish Witter gained 163 yards to lead a 420-yard rushing attack for Missouri (3-8, 1-6). The Tigers gained 600-plus total yards for the fourth time this season.Offensively thats a pretty gd day, Missouri coach Barry Odom said. I didnt have enough answers defensively to put us there to win it.Crockett had the second-highest single-game rushing total ever by a Tennessee opponent. Mississippis Dexter McCluster rushed for 282 yards against Tennessee in 2009.Tennessees John Kelly rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown. Alvin Kamara ran for 55 yards and two scores.The Vols were clinging to a 35-30 lead when Dobbs made a move around Missouris Thomas Wilson at the line of scrimmage and raced for a 70-yard touchdown with 13:20 remaining. Tennessee tk command from there.Although Tennessee won the game, the Vols were knocked out of contention for the SEC Eastern Division title when Florida beat LSU 16-10 earlier in the day to clinch a spot in the Dec. 3 SEC championship game against No. 1 Alabama.We didnt know about it, Tennessee cornerback Cam Sutton said. I just heard about it after the game. Thats something we werent worried about throughout the course of the game.THE TAKEAWAYMissouri: The Tigers season-long kicking woes hurt them again Saturday.Missouri missed an extra-point attempt for the fifth time this season at the end of the Tigers first series. Missouri also had gone 5 of 12 on field-goal attempts this season before Saturday.The Tigers kicking game has struggled so much that they decided to go for it rather than attempting a field goal while facing fourth-and-12 from the Tennessee 20 early in the second quarter. After Missouri was penalized for a false start, the Tigers still kept their offense on the field to try converting the first down on fourth-and-17 from the 25. The drive ended with an incomplete pass.Tennessee: The Vols defense remains extremely vulnerable, particularly against the run. Missouri put up huge numbers against Tennessee one week after the Vols allowed 443 yards rushing in a 49-36 victory over Kentucky. Tennessee also gave up 353 yards rushing to Texas A&M and 409 to Alabama this season.UP NEXTMissouri hosts Arkansas on Friday.Tennessee is at Vanderbilt on Saturday.Atlanta Braves Store .

Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning.A repeat of last years Grand Final, but perhaps not quite in the circumstances people expected when the fixture list came out.Leeds only grabbed their first win this season by beating Huddersfield, but its a different story for Shaun Wanes Wigan who are yet to lose in Super League in 2016.So which way will this one go? We lk at two key battles that might decide the outcome… George Williams v Liam Sutcliffe The battle of the future of English half-backs takes place at the DW Stadium on Friday as two of Super Leagues star youngsters face off.George Williams is already one of Super Leagues household names after a terrific 2015. He replaced the outgoing Blake Green and ended the season an England international, having guided Wigan to a Grand Final. Eight tries and a team-high 21 try assists in 2015 shows his importance in attack, but despite a 100% record in 2016, Wigans attack has struggled to gel. George Williams enjoyed a fine 2015 for Wigan Williams has scored just once in Super League and has provided just two assists so far. The stand-off has put in just five attacking kicks t, leaving partner Matty Smith to act the general when it comes to ball hitting the bt. But there were signs of improvement in the win over Hull FC, highlighted in particular by Williams terrific individual try. So can the 21-year-old star help the Wigan attack click into top gear and blow away the Rhinos on Friday?Its been a difficult 2016 so far for Williams rival at stand-off, Liam Sutcliffe. Stepping into skipper Kevin Sinfields shoes in that pivotal role was never going to be easy and thats certainly the way its played out.Sutcliffe struggled in Leeds three defeats and has made nine errors so far, the second most in the Rhinos side. But with two tries and two try assists, things could be lking up. Sutcliffes four-pointer against Huddersfield highlighted why he has Brian McDermotts backing, taking on the line with pace and power to claim an individual score. Liam Sutcliffe has strugged to find the form shown in the first half of last season And any Rhinos fans questioning whether Sutcliffe is the man to replace Sinfield long term need to lk back at last season. He was on fire, even keeping the captain out of the team at one stage. He dazzled in the first half of 2015, scoring six tries, making seven try assists and making ten clean breaks.Sutcliffe would have been competing for Williams place in that England side had it not been for that season-ending knee injury. If the stand-off can regain the confidence he showed last season, then Leeds will lk a far better side in the process. Watch out for him rediscovering that form against Wigan.Sam Powell v Rob Burrow Hker is proving a problem position for both Leeds and Wigan this season.ddddddddddddMichael McIlorum is expected to miss the rest of the season for the Cherry-and-Whites after a broken ankle, while Leeds new signing Beau Falln is yet to play for the club after a broken toe.So into McIlorums hefty bts steps Sam Powell. The 23-year-old has been around the Wigan first team for the last three seasons, without ever really nailing down a regular spot. But it lks like hell play the rest of 2016 at hker.The question is, can he replace McIlorum? A big part of McIlorums game is his tackling. In his two Super League games this season, he made 62, missing just four. But Powells shown hes not afraid to get his hands dirty in the middle, second on Wigans tackling list so far with 155 hits, just behind John Bateman. Hes only missed nine as well. Shaun Wane, Sam Powell, Matty Smith and Ben Flower speak ahead of Fridays match against Leeds Powells kicking game, often needed in the half-back positions, could prove important as well, putting in two attacking kicks. But will he add that extra edge from dummy half, running just six times, level with McIlorums six from his two games? A big ask for Powell in 2016 then, but he can lay down a marker by directing his pack over the Leeds team and on to victory come Friday?Leeds are really struggling at hker. Paul Aitons season-ending injury left them short last season and his replacement from the Gold Coast Titans, Beau Falln is yet to play in 2016. So into the role steps Rob Burrow.Its been a tough 2016 for Burrow. Hes also assumed the captaincy while Danny McGuire recovers from injury and subsequently has failed to find his best form. Hes crossed the whitewash just once, provided two try assists and made just two clean breaks. Rhinos prop Mitch Garbutt returns from suspension for the trip to the DW Stadium And with Burrow playing at hker, Leeds are missing something in defence. He has to defend out wide, making just 29 tackles this season. That means more work for the forwards through the middle.But using Burrow in the hking role is nothing new for the Rhinos. And with everyone fit, hed be spelling the dummy half role with Falln anyway. His threat from the play the ball is still a weapon in the Leeds attack, indeed Burrow has run 24 times from dummy half, the fifth-most in Super League. So can Burrow get himself and his trps firing on all cylinders against Wigan? Watch Wigan v Leeds live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Friday from 7.30pm. Catch the match for £6.99 on NOW TV. No contract.
