Can the Vols get up and beat S. Carolina now?

[TennesseeOrange]

We will beat South Carolina.

They've looked pretty ho-hum all season. Here's their resume:

Beat North Carolina - A really bad 1-4 team - 27-10

Lost at Georgia - 41-30 not that close

Beat Vanderbilt - 35-25 meh

Beat UCF - 28-25 OK

Beat Kentucky - 35-28 not good

They will have their hands full with Arkansas next week.

Let's hope Chaney and Pittman rough them up a little with the ground game.

Yes, I do think we have a good chance to beat USCjr.:thumbsup:

Any time UT suffers because guys get injured... folks like you come along and say "It's part of the game! It's part of the game!" But when it happens to an opponent then all of sudden it somehow cheapens good things UT has done.

I'm just keeping it real.

Heading in it stood to reason this was going to be a letdown game for Georgia after their emotional win last week. And then for them to lose key players during the game clearly impacted their team.

South Carolina will be a different story.

Only if we wear all orange.

It's obvious the orange and white is bad luck.

South Carolina will be a different story.

No. Sorry. That is not "keeping it real". The disparity between UGA and USCe is in the same neighborhood as UGA and UT.

If USCe is getting better, it is tough to tell from the results. If you take those blinders off, you should be able to see a pretty clear progression with UT's team and especially the O. In spite of a really tough loss, they played their best game of the season today. USCe's last two games were NOT improvements... and they had not played great before that.

Mizzou has a good O system. They are the least talented D UT will face this year and they don't tackle well.

So they're like UGA except worse in every aspect? I like that.

Helps that we have a bye week. If they can keep improving and show up tomorrow ready to work then we should have a shot at beating Carolina.
