KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs eye-popping numbers against an overmatched opponent last week were most notable for what was missing.For the first time all season, Dobbs didnt commit a single turnover in a game as Tennessee rolled to a 55-0 victory over Football Championship Subdivision program Tennessee Tech. He wants to carry that momentum Saturday as Tennessee (6-3, 2/3 SEC) hosts Kentucky (5-4, 4-3).Its just big for the team just to play a clean game, a very efficient game, the pass game, the run game, Dobbs said. We had big plays. We drove the ball efficiently on third down. Just overall the execution was high. It was great just to have an efficient game. Weve got to play with that kind of efficiency to finish the season strong and be where we want to be.Turnovers have been an issue for Dobbs this year.He has thrown 11 interceptions in nine games after being picked off just five times in 13 games last season. Dobbs threw five interceptions and lost three fumbles during a three-game losing streak. That included two interceptions and one fumble in a stunning 24-21 loss at South Carolina.Thats why it was important for Dobbs to avoid mistakes and play well last week, even if he was facing an FCS defense. Dobbs went 12 of 13 and threw three touchdown passes before leaving the game late in the second quarter.When you have an off week and youre able to follow it up with a really good week, it definitely feels good just to get back in a rhythm, Dobbs said.Dobbs acknowledged he didnt play up to his standards against South Carolina, but he didnt let that performance carry over. His coaches marvel at how well Dobbs manages his emotions under any situation, a trait that continued even after the South Carolina game.I didnt see any panic, offensive coordinator Mike DeBord said. I didnt see where he was down at all. I just saw Josh Dobbs. Thats what you love about the kid. Every day he brings the same mentality, same attitude. Everythings the same. He doesnt get high. He doesnt get low. Thats important, especially at that position.Dobbs utilizes the same approach off the field, which has enabled the senior aerospace engineering major to earn many honors that arent necessarily related to athletics. The latest one came Tuesday when Dobbs was selected to the Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honor society, which recognizes high achievers in various fields. Members of the society have included Tennessee legends Peyton Manning and Pat Summitt.But as serious as Dobbs may seem on most occasions, he believes its also important to recognize that hes playing a game. Dobbs said part of the reason the Volunteers finally ended its slide last week and started playing better was that they began having fun again.It was great for the team to go out and just have fun, to enjoy the game we grew up loving, the game we grew up playing as kids, Dobbs said. Just go out and have fun. Obviously there are a lot bigger implications within the game, bigger meanings. But at the end of the day, it is a game, and youre supposed to go out and enjoy it every time you step on the field.Dobbs traditionally has plenty of fun against Kentucky.He has won all three of his previous starts against the Wildcats. Dobbs threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores in a 52-21 blowout at Kentucky last season. Two years ago, Dobbs threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth score in a 50-16 triumph over Kentucky.My past performances versus a certain opponent dont dictate future performances, Dobbs said. I have to go out and prepare well if I want to play well again this week.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee White Womens NFL Jerseys .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- If you enjoyed weightlifting at the 2012 Olympics, you might be confused about where your favorites have gone.The reigning gold, silver and bronze medalists werent around Friday for the womens 75-kilogram class because theyre all suspended. Spains Lidia Valentin Perez was fourth in London in 2012, but is now waiting to see whether shell be upgraded to top spot.While Valentin Perez said she didnt want to talk about the doping threat to her sport after winning bronze Friday at her second Olympics, she has been vocal on social media.For a clean sport with values, reads a message she posted to Instagram shortly before the games, accompanied by the Olympic rings. Because when an athlete is doping they stop being an athlete, and this stops being a sport.Indeed, weightlifting has been so ravaged by doping cases that many events are almost unrecognizable from just four years ago. Out of 45 medalists from London, 12 have so far failed retests of their Olympic doping samples, with others banned at events like the world championships.Thursdays winner Rim Jong Sim comes from the secretive and tightly state-controlled North Korean sports system, which has produced numerous doping cases across many sports and currently has five top lifters serving bans.Rim was utterly dominant, lifting 121 kilograms in the snatch and 153 in the clean and jerk for a total of 274, way ahead of the 258 managed by Belarusian silver medalist Darya Naumava, or 257 for Valentin Perez.When I saw that I secured the first place in the competition, the first thing I thought was that I made beloved Great Leader KKim Jong-Un happy and I just want to see him as soon as possible, she said through an interpreter.dddddddddddd As for my family, I just meet them again once Im in North Korea, so I have nothing special to say.In her spare time, Rim said she listens to patriotic music about North Koreas leaders.North Korea won four gold medals in London four years ago but has started slowly in Rio, with only two silver and two bronze medals before Rims win.Rim was gold medalist in the 69kg class four years ago and said a hard training schedule and advanced sports medicine had helped her overcome injury to win again despite moving up a class.There was also a shadow over the silver for Naumava because the International Weightlifting Federation had tried to ban the entire Belarus team from Rio over repeated doping test failures, but was stymied because the paperwork on those cases was not completed in time by the International Olympic Committee.Throughout the Olympics, weightlifters finishing behind athletes from countries they consider suspect have suggested they could be upgraded when drug test results come back, or expressed suspicion about rapid improvements by athletes with a checkered past. At the top end of the sport, denunciations of drug cheats are comparatively rare, though Valentin Perez is changing that.Commenting on yet another round of failed tests earlier this summer, the Spanish lifter let her frustration show on social media. Say NO doping, she wrote. STOP DOPING! ' ' '
