[edit | edit source]Dodson was a running back for the Tennessee Volunteers of the University of Tennessee from 1925 to 1927.[1]
1927
[edit | edit source]Dan McGugin's Vanderbilt Commodores led 7–0 until a late Dick Dodson run tied the score.[2] He was selected All-Southern in 1927.[3] Dodson was considered the best of Southern backfields along with Bill Spears and Herdis McCrary.[4] That year Dodson set a record with a 91 yard run versus Transylvania.[5][6] It's still the second longest run in Tennessee history, broken with a 99-yard run by Kelsey Finch against Florida in 1977.[7] In the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game of '27, Dodson carried the ball but four times, yet was the main reason for Tennessee keeping the game a tie.[4]
