KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Alex Pietrangelo Jersey . -- On a day when both teams ran wild, Kentucky couldnt quite catch up to Tennessee.Joshua Dobbs threw touchdown passes to three different receivers and ran for two more scores Saturday as Tennessee defeated Kentucky 49-36 to continue its domination of this annual series.Dobbs rushed for 147 yards and Alvin Kamara ran for 128 yards to lead Tennessees 376-yard rushing attack. Kentucky ran for 443 yards -- three yards shy of a 65-year-old single-game school record -- but often bogged down in the red zone.Its fun with two teams that have good running games just going back and forth, Kamara said. Its kind of like a battle royale trying to see who has the better punches.Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 SEC) has won 31 of its last 32 matchups against the Wildcats, with the lone Kentucky win coming in 2011. Kentucky (5-5, 4-4) hasnt beaten Tennessee in Knoxville since 1984.Dobbs went 11 of 17 for 223 yards with touchdown passes to Josh Smith and Ethan Wolf as well as a 51-yarder to Josh Malone on a flea flicker. Dobbs also had his highest rushing total of the season.Hes like a tight end playing quarterback, Kentucky linebacker Denzil Ware said. Its hard to get him down, and when he gets in the zone, you basically cant stop the man.Tennessee averaged 9.2 yards per carry against a Kentucky defense that lost leading tackler Jordan Jones to back spasms in the first half and had several other players hurt over the course of the game. John Kelly rushed for 94 yards to complement Dobbs and Kamara, who wore a knee brace while returning from an injury that sidelined him for two games.The Vols moved the ball so well that they only faced five third-down situations all day.They were making too much hay on first and second down, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said.Stanley Boom Williams ran for 127 yards and Jojo Kemp added 90 yards -- including a 71-yard touchdown -- as Kentucky averaged 8.1 yards per carry to threaten the school single-game record of 446 yards rushing, set in 1951 against Tennessee Tech. Kentuckys 443-yard output was the third-highest rushing total ever allowed by Tennessee.Its definitely unacceptable, Tennessee defensive end LaTroy Lewis said. That would never be tolerated. It wouldnt be tolerated at Tennessee in the `70s, `80s, 90s and its not tolerated now.But the Wildcats didnt run nearly as effectively once they got into scoring position. Kentucky settled for field goals three times after driving inside Tennessees 15-yard line and also lost a fumble at the Tennessee 4.Obviously when you rush for that many yards, the difference is in the red zone, Stoops said. They capped it off with touchdowns. We capped it off with some field goals.THE TAKEAWAYKentucky: The Wildcats continued their recent history of being unable to stop Tennessees offense. They have allowed 151 points to the Volunteers over the last three seasons. Kentuckys lack of a balanced offense proved costly whenever the Wildcats got into scoring position. Stephen Johnson went 12 of 29 for 192 yards with an interception, and he was sacked four times.Tennessee: Dobbs continued his personal history of productive performances against Kentucky. Dobbs is 4-0 against Kentucky as a starting quarterback. In those four games, he has 10 touchdown passes and six touchdown runs.He now has 27 career touchdown runs, the most ever by a Tennessee quarterback. Jimmy Streater had 25 touchdown runs from 1977-79.POSTSEASON PICTURETennessee remains very much alive in the SEC Eastern Division race. In order to win its first division title since 2007, Tennessee must win its two remaining games (against Missouri and Vanderbilt) and have No. 22 Florida lose to No. 19 LSU next week.We came as freshman wanting to get Tennessee back in this picture and wanting to be where we are today, Dobbs said. Now we have to take advantage of this opportunity.Kentucky is one win away from becoming bowl eligible for the first time since 2010.WELCOME BACKKamara wasnt the only Tennessee captain to return from an injury Saturday. Cornerback Cam Sutton also returned after missing six games with a fractured ankle.UP NEXTKentucky hosts Football Championship Subdivision program Austin Peay.Tennessee hosts Missouri.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ;Chris Thorburn Jersey . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Jay Bouwmeester Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. http:///...as-vince-dunn-jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. Andrew Bogut?exceeded all expectations - including his own - with a powerhouse performance as Australia trounced France 87-66 to open an Olympic mens basketball tournament with a win for the first time in 20 years.Bogut was initially considered unlikely to even make it to Rio after damaging his knee in game five of the NBA finals in June.But the newly-minted Dallas Maverick underwent a gruelling rehab program and recovered in the nick of time, showing on Saturday why he was so crucial to the Boomers chances of Olympic success in Rio.He had 18 points on nine-of-10 shooting, five assists and four rebounds and was also an imposing figure on the defensive end.I didnt know how I was going to pull up, said Bogut, whose first points came courtesy of an alley-oop pass from Matthew Dellavedova.But when you make your first basket in an Olympic Games it helps get your confidence rolling and I felt good after that.Tonight everyone will be talking about offence, about dunks, about me scoring and Patty (Mills) scoring, but it was won defensively.We knuckled down defensively. Before the tournament we said that we need to be pricks defensively.We need to be physical because thats the only chance we have to beat a lot of these teams who are a little more talented than us.Mills had a game-high 21 points, outscoring his San Antonio teammate Tony Parker by three.The superstar French guard threatened to take the game away from the Boomers with an astonishing 14-point second quarter, but he was only used sparingly by his coach Vincent Collet in the second halff. Adidas Colton Parayko Jersey. I thought we did a pretty good job of throwing bodies at Parker, said Australian coach Andrej Lemanis.Between Delly (Dellavedova), Patty, Kevin Lisch even through Damian Martin, just making it tough for him, to wear him out over the course of 40 minutes.The San Antonio playmaker drained 14 second-quarter points, including a buzzer beater which slashed Australias lead to 36-33 at halftime.Parker and his former Spurs teammate Boris Diaw - who was traded to the Utah Jazz last month - scored 25 of Frances 33 first-half points between them.Bogut continued to be an offensive threat in the third term, both as a scorer and with two superb assists for Ryan Broekhoff and Mills.Lemanis ended up giving Bogut 22 minutes and 35 seconds of game-time, with the centre playing with heavy strapping and padding on his knee.He did an unbelievable job of looking after himself during the rehab period and doing what he had to do to get here, said Lemanis.Its a great testament to him, how much he wanted to be in the Olympics playing alongside his mates and playing for his country.Fellow big Aron Baynes also had a considerable impact on the match, finishing with 14 points and eight rebounds.Having won their opening match at an Olympics for the first time since the 1996 Atlanta Games, the Boomers will now turn their attention to key games against Serbia on Monday (early Tuesday AM AEST) and the United States two days later.
