Dobbs set the pace from the second play from scrimmage when he tore off a 44-yard run, which eventually led to a field goal. "There's a part of you that knows that in our previous games, we did a lot to beat ourselves and, so, that's just been kind of the process the whole time is knowing that we can be a lot better than we've shown."Īrizona scored 20 points in the first half for the second straight game, going up 21-10 at halftime. That led to a celebratory locker room that could be heard through its doors. The offense was able to score in the second half, which it had struggled to do this season, and the defense had a bend-but-don't-break mentality, White added.

"So, yeah, it was a great full-circle moment and so it was good to take a moment to enjoy it." "It was a tremendous full-circle moment because it feels like yesterday, man, I was getting ready for my first start on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys ," Dobbs said. To the sixth-year journeyman signal-caller, that prolate spheroid was a physical reminder of where he came from and where he was Sunday afternoon: celebrating his first career win. Dobbs wasn't letting that ball out of his sight. He placed it on the podium for his postgame news conference alongside the phones and recorders catching his every word.
