Tennessee Volunteers vs. South Carolina Gamecocks: Tennessee starts the season off with a 31-27 win over South Carolina

Well, we had to wait an extra month for SEC football to return to our lives, but I think it’s fair to say the wait was worthwhile.

No one really knew what to expect from this game. Especially Tennessee and South Carolina. Regardless, there were plenty of plays made between both teams and the game came down to the wire.

What else could you ask for in a season opener? Let’s recap Tennessee’s big win over South Carolina.

A 20-yard completion to Shi Smith got the Gamecocks moving on the first drive of the game and he showed up big with another 20-yard reception on 3rd and 4 just a few plays later.
