Vols Finally Break Muschamp Curse With 41-21 Win Over South Carolina

The Tennessee Volunteers (3-5) have witnessed its fair share of embarrassing streaks over the past decade, but one of the oddest ones is the seven-game losing streak to Will Muschamp that dates back to 2011.

Well, the Vols finally broke that streak on Saturday against the South Carolina Gamecocks (3-5) with a 41-21 win.

Good performances by Jarrett Guarantano, JT Shrout, Jauan Jennings, Darrell Taylor, and others helped the Vols get over the hump, while increasing the chances of making it to a bowl game.

South Carolina didn’t waste any time putting points on the board, as Ryan Hilinski found Shi Smith over the middle for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the game.
