College

Dodd committed to Rutgers University in July 2009.^[3] As a true freshman in 2010, Dodd did not play much during the first few games of the season.^[4] On October 8, however, he made his first career college start against Connecticut, as fellow quarterback Tom Savage was injured.^[5] In that game, Dodd threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns, and Rutgers came back in the fourth quarter to defeat the Huskies 27-24.^[1][4] Dodd was named Big East Offensive Player of the Week. During the next game, against Army, Dodd directed another fourth quarter comeback.^[1] He had 251 passing yards and two touchdowns; Rutgers won in overtime.^[4]

Dodd saw most of the action at quarterback during the last six games of the season, but Rutgers finished with six consecutive losses. On November 20, he threw for a season-high 335 yards and four touchdowns against Cincinnati in a 69-38 defeat.^[4] The four touchdowns set a Rutgers single-game record for a true freshman.^[1] For the year, Dodd had 1,637 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.^[6]
