Bobby
Dodd
1930
Quarterback
Kingsport
Bobby Dodd was the
centerpiece of the "Hack and Mack" backfield that featured Buddy
Hackman and Gene McEver, expanding the quarterback role like never before.
It was his
senior year in which "The Dodger" showed his versatility
in a 13-0 win against then-Southern power Vanderbilt. Dodd finished
with 14 punts for a 42-yard
average, had nine carries for 39 yards, was 7-of-12 passing for 159
yards and two touchdowns and intercepted two passes. On the afternoon,
Dodd
gained 212 all-purpose yards, collecting all but 14 of Tennessee's
team total of 226. The Vols finished 9-1, and Dodd's dominance on
the gridiron
earned him 1930 All-America honors.
Dodd was inducted
into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959 as a player. He was
head coach at Georgia Tech from 1947-66, compiling a record of 165-64-6
and was inducted into the college hall of fame as a coach in 1993. No Official Statistics
