7:15 pm ET on ESPN2. Dock here for Tennessee-South Carolina score updates and here for Saturday stories from around the country.
South Carolina blog Garnet and Black Attack, for one, seems to be looking forward to it:
You would have to imagine that the Vols will have less respect for the run and will choose to challenge Shaw with confusing coverage schemes. If they do, I hope Steve Spurrier takes the gambit and gives Brandon Wilds many chances to run the ball. If the coaching staff believes in this guy, they need to give him an opportunity to make some plays.
Tennessee, meanwhile, has a new look of their own. The Vols will be starting freshman quarterback Justin Worley, something Rocky Top Talk notes is not all that new for them:
Oh, don’t get me wrong. Starting the 6-foot-4, 200-pound signal-caller against a vulnerable Gamecocks team at Neyland Stadium may inject a little life in a draining season that still has a few drops of hope pooled at the bottom. It’s just that, you know, starting a freshman quarterback is SOOOO 1994 for the Vols.
