KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs made his final home game one to remember.Not even having his team knocked out of the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division race could ruin his day.Dobbs threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores -- including a career-long 70-yarder -- as Tennessee won a 63-37 shootout with Missouri on Saturday.I definitely had a blast, Dobbs said. Its not really an end. We obviously still have a couple of games left, but its an enjoyable opportunity and I definitely enjoyed it tonight.Tennessees hopes of reaching the SEC championship game vanished when No. 21 Florida upset No. 16 LSU 16-10 earlier Saturday to clinch its second straight SEC East title.Theres still a lot to play for, Dobbs said. Our legacys on the line, how we want to leave Tennessee.Dobbs was 15 of 22 for 223 yards Saturday with two touchdown passes to Jauan Jennings and one to Josh Malone. He rushed for a career-high 190 yards on just 10 carries. He even helped lead Tennessees Pride of the Southland band after the game.It was an impressive farewell to Neyland Stadium for a guy who has served as the face of Tennessees program while balancing his quarterback responsibilities with his academic demands as an aerospace engineering major.Im not very political, but he could be the president of the United States if he wanted to, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.The Vols (8-3, 4-3 SEC) won despite allowing 740 yards in total offense, the highest single-game total ever by a Tennessee opponent. Troy gained 721 yards in a 55-48 loss to Tennessee in 2012.Damarea Crockett rushed for 225 yards and Ish Witter gained 163 yards to lead a 420-yard rushing attack for Missouri (3-8, 1-6). The Tigers gained 600-plus total yards for the fourth time this season.Offensively thats a pretty good day, Missouri coach Barry Odom said. I didnt have enough answers defensively to put us there to win it.Crockett had the second-highest single-game rushing total ever by a Tennessee opponent. Mississippis Dexter McCluster rushed for 282 yards against Tennessee in 2009.Tennessees John Kelly rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown. Alvin Kamara ran for 55 yards and two scores.The Vols were clinging to a 35-30 lead when Dobbs made a move around Missouris Thomas Wilson at the line of scrimmage and raced for a 70-yard touchdown with 13:20 remaining.Tennessee took command from there.THE TAKEAWAYMissouri: The Tigers season-long kicking woes hurt them again Saturday.Missouri missed an extra-point attempt for the sixth time this season at the end of the Tigers first series. Missouri also had gone 5 of 12 on field-goal attempts this season before Saturday.The Tigers kicking game has struggled so much that they decided to go for it rather than attempting a field goal while facing fourth-and-12 from the Tennessee 20 early in the second quarter. After Missouri was penalized for a false start, the Tigers still kept their offense on the field to try converting the first down on fourth-and-17 from the 25. The drive ended with an incomplete pass.Tennessee: The Vols defense remains extremely vulnerable, particularly against the run. Missouri put up huge numbers against Tennessee one week after the Vols allowed 443 yards rushing in a 49-36 victory over Kentucky. Tennessee also gave up 353 yards rushing to Texas A&M and 409 to Alabama this season.POLL IMPLICATIONSThis win could help Tennessee get back into the Top 25.

MADRID -- Diego Simeone is going back to basics to get Atletico Madrid back on track.After an unusual streak of disappointing results, when the teams new attacking style failed to work, Simeone reverted to the proven defensive setup that led Atletico to recent glories, and it paid off right away with a solid performance against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday.Playing balanced soccer again, Madrid defeated PSV 2-0 at the Vicente Calderon Stadium to win its fifth straight in the Champions League and secure first place in its group.Now the hope is that the old tactics will steer the team in the right direction in the Spanish league, where Atletico has lost three of its last four games, including 3-0 at home to Real Madrid in the city derby last weekend.There are several different ways to win, Simeone said. Whichever way is executed correctly is the right one. Im not surprised by the criticism because of the changes in how the team plays. The situations change. We will be evaluated for what we do in the end of the season.Simeone adjusted the teams traditionally staunch defensive scheme after injuries forced him to make some changes in the midfield. And with the signing of some players up front in the offseason, the coach saw the possibility of adding some offensive power to the squad.Simeone started playing with talented youngster Saul Niguez in one of the defensive midfield positions along with Gabi Fernandez and Jorge Koke Resurreccion. The formation, without the more defensive Tiago, allows for more freedom in the attack but also jeopardizes the protection in front of the defense.Simeone said aftter Wednesdays game that he felt the team was more solid with Tiago in the squad.ddddddddddddWith Tiago in the middle he has a more fixed position, Simeone said. He is able to share the work with Gabi and Koke to occupy spaces.The switch, as surprising as it was in the beginning of the season, worked well early on and was widely praised by most critics. The team maintained the leagues best defense in relation to goals conceded, but the attack scored a lot more compared to previous seasons.Recently, though, the defense started faltering and the goals stopped coming.Before the victory over PSV, Atletico lost two straight games in the league, being outscored 5-0. In the three games before that, Atletico conceded four goals despite winning twice.With Tiago back in a more secure midfield on Wednesday, Atletico earned its first clean sheet in six games.Simeone has hinted that he will set up his team depending on the situation and the opponent. Atleticos next game is Sunday in the Spanish league against second-to-last place Osasuna, the recently promoted team which hasnt won in four matches.The loss to leader Madrid, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring all three goals, dropped Atletico to sixth place. Even if it beats Osasuna, Atletico will only be able to tie Sevilla for third.Madrid will host struggling Sporting Gijon on Saturday, while second-place Barcelona plays at fifth-place Real Sociedad on Sunday. Barcelona is four points behind Madrid.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni ' ' '
