Tennessee sits just 2-5, but the progress has been easy to see in recent weeks. The Volunteers put up a nice effort yesterday in Tuscaloosa, hanging within striking distance of the nation’s No. 1 team until the fourth quarter.
With a softer schedule finally here, it’s time for Tennessee to show some progress in the win column. That starts this week with a South Carolina team that’s also playing pretty well. The Gamecocks pulled the upset at Georgia last week and nearly did the same to Florida. The Gators pulled away late, but South Carolina is another team showing obvious progress.
