49ers QB Dobbs, Jennings relive ‘crazy’ Hail Mary TD at Tennessee
Apr 8, 2024 at 2:00 PM
Joshua Dobbs and Jauan Jennings are back on the same team eight years after creating a formidable connection at the University of Tennessee. Dobbs, who signed last month to compete for the backup quarterback job with the 49ers, is once again teammates with Jennings. The two will always hold a special place in Tennessee lore after teaming up for a Hail Mary touchdown pass on the final play of a 2016 game against Georgia. Dobbs and Jennings got together on a recent episode of the "Torchbearers" podcast and talked about that play. "I relive that moment over and over in my head all the time," Jennings said. "I just remember you going to get the ball. That was a crazy night." Down 31-28 with four seconds remaining, the Volunteers were out of field-goal range and had just one play to pull off the upset victory on the road. "When we called the play, you weren't designed to catch the ball," Dobbs told Jennings. The play called for three receivers to the left of the formation and one receiver to the right.

By Don Atkinson

It's not a shock to anyone who looks back at the past two NFL seasons to contemplate that the San Francisco 49ers' offense has finally stepped out of the shadow cast by the team's ever-imposing defense. Since their 2019 Super Bowl run, players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, and former 49ers Richard Sherman and Jimmie Ward have garnered most of the attention when talking about the team. That was indeed the case until 2022, when future Hall-of-Fame running back Christian McCaffrey, who came to San Francisco in a mid-season trade with the Carolina Panthers, changed the conversation. The 49ers' offense was suddenly seen not just as a semi-capable complement to a sterling defense, but rather as a unit that could put up some points, and in a dramatic way.
