Once the Vols game is over, shift to watching the rest of today’s college football slate. You can find our weekly college football TV schedule and rooting guide for Vols fans here, and that will serve as our “other games” thread as well.
Well this should be interesting.
Apparently, Deandre Johnson is also out for today’s game. Low on DEs.
Jack Jones, too. Ugh.
And Aaron Medley.
Gaulden may be our most valuable player on defense.
Good stop on SC’s first drive.
Guessing Game question — first pass goes to TN wide receiver Josh Smith.
Man, John Kelly is awesome.
Good play by JG to just fall forward on that and then communicate to Robertson where the bad snap ended up.
Cimaglia gets the first three.
Offense looking good. Penalties stopped the last drive. If they avoid those this time, it’s just a matter of whether they can be effective in the red zone when things tighten up.
And then the penalties start.
And they get down there anyway, but can’t get in on 1st and goal from the 4.
Awesome cutback and long run for Ty Chandler.
And injuries continue to mount for SC.
Awesome series by the Tennessee defense there.
After one quarter, there appears to be no evidence of a team unwilling to play for Jones.

Three and out.
Two straight three and outs for the Vols offense.
Guarantano has a moment. Beginning to feel confident.
Penalties again in the red zone force a field goal. (Also, JG not throwing the ball away on a scramble and instead running out of bounds.
So far, Vols looking like the better team, but really need to get touchdowns in the red zone instead of field goals. Mostly, penalties in the red zone are what’s keeping them out.
