Video: Josh Dobbs improvises, tiptoes down sideline for TD in Outback Bowl

Sometimes the best plays aren’t scripted.

After Joshua Dobbs mishandled a snap in the fourth quarter of the Vols’ meeting with Northwestern in the Outback Bowl, we saw one of those special improvised moment.

Dobbs recovered his fumble, and scampered to the sidelines, where he tiptoed into the end zone for a 18-yard touchdown run.
