Tennessee is home once again this week and back in conference play against South Carolina. It’s a game that both teams need to win having each lost once in conference play already.

“It’s a South Carolina team that struggles on defense but has a lot of fire power on offense,” Brent Hubbs said. “It’s a South Carolina team that has played a better schedule than Tennessee has and are a more proven team than Tennessee is coming into this. It’s Neyland Stadium at night and all those things factor in.”

So how does Tennessee slow down Spencer Rattler?

“You got to keep him in the pocket,” Hubbs said. “You got to push the pocket in the middle but not let him bounce it and go backyard playground football. Which is what he has had to do and has done it really successful.”

Tennessee’s offensive attack will likely get Cooper Mays back this week in what should help the offensive pacing.

“I would think getting Cooper back will really help with that,” Rob Lewis said. “Ollie Lane hasn’t played center forever and Cooper has played it in this system going into third season.”

The Vols (3-1, 0-1 SEC) are coming off a 45-14 win over UTSA, bouncing back from the 29-16 loss at Florida on September 16. South Carolina (2-2, 1-1) beat Mississippi State at home Saturday night, after starting SEC play with a 24-14 loss at No. 1 Georgia.
