Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs will be without one of his main targets in the Vols' season opener against Bowling Green.
Head coach Butch Jones announced that senior wide receiver Pig Howard will be suspended for Tennessee's first game of the season due to a violation of team rules, according to Afternoon host on The Sports Animal, Jimmy Hyams.
