Any hope that Tennessee had of making the College Football Playoff as a one-loss, non-conference champion came to a screeching halt in Saturday night’s 63–38 loss to unranked South Carolina.
The 63 points for South Carolina against Tennessee are the most the Gamecocks have scored against an SEC team since 1995, according to ESPN’s Tom VanHaaren.
The Williams-Brice faithful were partying from the jump as the Gamecocks offense started fast and never looked back.
South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler had his best night as a collegiate quarterback, finishing 30-of-37 for 438 yards and six touchdowns.
