Quarterback Josh Dobbs isn't only working on his own craft; Dobbs, who's routinely been among the last players out of the complex while he gets additional throwing sessions in and seeks to elevate his downfield accuracy, also has been working closely with Sheriron Jones. Jones has been right there with Dobbs, both in the complex and outside of it trying to glean as much information and pointers as possible.

Moseley passed the eyeball test last season, serving as a backup for much of the season but starting twice after Michael Williams was suspended, but statistics show
he was perhaps better than anyone imagined.

In 195 coverage snaps last season, Moseley allowed just nine completions. That percentage was the third lowest in the SEC, according to Pro Football Focus. Even
Tennessee’s coaching staff hadn’t kept that rare statistic and was impressed when learning it. Moseley (just like Williams) was targeted several times last season
because he was on the side opposite star Cameron Sutton, but teams obviously didn’t have much success when throwing his way. That has to mean something, right?

Brand New: New Logo, Identity, and Uniforms for University of Tennessee Athletics by Nike

From someone on VN about the new Power T:

It is now a square, which will make it easier for licensees to ensure it is consistently used properly. The previous version was wider than it was tall.

At the recommendation of Nike or...what prompted the change?

They were involved, it was a recommendation based on walking around campus and seeing the T in about 50 different proportions in print, on merchandise and even on facilities. They determined the reason it was so inconsistent was because there was no standard for resizing the logo.

With the University moving to the T as well, it was very important to fix that, since it would be in even more places. The easy solution was to modify the logo to make it a square, so it would be easy to standardize the mark at any size.

Guess I can live with the new slimmer T, it's hardly even noticeable.
