Tennessee vs. South Carolina: How to watch and open game thread

The Tennessee Volunteers are looking for 4-2 on the season, and they’ll have to go through the South Carolina Gamecocks today to get there. It’s another one of those crucial, winnable swing games — one that Josh Heupel really needs to get with the schedule set to ramp up after this.

Tennessee will go ‘Dark Mode’ today, breaking out black uniforms for the first time since 2009. The alternate look is something that both Heupel and Danny White have talked about in the past and prioritized, and we’ll get our first taste of that today.

On the field, Tennessee is looking to back up a 62 point performance. The Volunteers trashed Missouri, but they’ll face a much tougher front today with South Carolina in town. The Gamecocks are capable defensively, but have really struggled offensively.

Tennessee seems to be the more balanced team here, and they enter this one as double-digit favorites.
