VOLS FALL TO SOUTH CAROLINA, ALABAMA NEXT
The Tennessee Volunteers fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks in Knoxville yesterday by the score of 15 to 9. Jarret Guarantano started at quarterback going 11-18 for 133 yards and rushing 17 times for -2 yards as the Vols failed to score a touchdown for the 2nd game in a row. The Volunteers have not scores a touchdown now in 10 consecutive quarters. Tennessee moved the football well enough in the 1st half but all 3 times in the red zone (inside their opponents 20 yard line) settled for field goals to lead 9-3 at halftime. Until the final drive of the game where they had a chance to win, the Vols mustered all of 5 yards in the second half. With just over a minute left in the game, the Vols marched down the field and had a chance to win the game inside the 5 yard line. But after 3 straight incomplete passes the time expired as South Carolina sends Tennessee to 3-3 and 0-3 in the SEC. The season does not get better for Tennessee. They travel to Tuscaloosa to play number one ranked Alabama this Saturday (October 21, 2017).
