Expect plenty of NFL scouts to converge in South Carolina on Saturday as Tennessee's talented offensive tackles tangle with the Gamecocks' elite defensive ends.

Great write-up! Really impressive quotes without giving the Gamecocks bulletin board material. Love the confidence of the OLine!
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

Our last shot at a ranked team this year, we need this one for fans, players, coaches, you name it! I think it starts with this battle right here in this article. We've got to slow down their attack to give ourselves a shot. Will be very interesting to watch. Go VOLS.

Hey anyone know Clowney's stats versus Worley? I know they played against each other a few times. I know it isnt an apples to apples comparison, but just curious.

Worley's team beat Clowney's when they were seniors.

as in every game, it's not about how well our offense plays, but our defense. if we can actually cover a receiver down field and stop a running back from having 200 yards, maybe we have a chance.

Bray needs to stand tall in the pocket and check down to the open reciver or TE or RB, take the sack if you have to but let the play develope instead of just picking a target befor the snap and throwing it.

No. I think he was just curious since they are from the same town.
That was in response to Thundercock's question.

The defense has really yet to have a good game against an SEC team - unless, I guess, the first 3+ quarters against Florida. But the offense was underwhelming against Bama. If they don't pick it up against S.Car who also has a good (though probably not as good as Bama) defense, I don't see how we can win this, even if the defense plays well.

Yes I agree. I suspect their defense plays much better against our offense than our defense against their offense which means they will perhaps cover the spread.

This should be a fantastic to watch and which ever side wins this battle will more than likely win the game. JMO.

No, but Dooley said he'll bench Bray and go to Worley (Spurrier-style) if Bray keeps being loose with the ball.
