Tennessee Volunteers Analysis

Tennessee Volunteers have won three of their last four games. Average 35 points per game, 234 yards throwing per game, 229.5 yards rushing per game. Joe Milton III completed 58 percent of his passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Dylan Sampson had 11 carries for 139 yards and two touchdowns, while Ramel Keyton had one catch for 48 yards and one touchdown. Tennessee is #8 in the power rankings and #59 in offense (averaging 31.67 points per game), #43 in defense (averaging 18.33 points per game), and holds a 3-1 (2-2 ATS) overall record. South Carolina has gone 2-1 (1-1-1 ATS) in their last three matchups against Tennessee.

Gamecocks Look to Leverage Passing Attack to Challenge Ninth-Best Running Game Possessed by the Volunteers

The Gamecocks have split their first four games, two of which were against ranked opponents. They boast one of the strongest passing attacks in the nation and have limited opposing teams to under 130 rushing yards per game. Contrastingly, the Volunteers possess the ninth-best ground game, however, have only encountered weak competition throughout their last four games. On the flip side, their running game was held in check when facing the Gators. Therefore, South Carolina should look to employ a similar approach- controlling the ball with the run and using the play-action pass for big gains. With the Volunteers conceding 29 points in their only game against a high pedigree team, the Gamecocks could have success offensively. It is recommended to go with South Carolina to cover the spread.
