At First Glance: Tennessee

No. 14 South Carolina at Tennessee:
Time: 7:15 p.m. ET
Location: Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tenn.
TV: ESPN2
Radio: 107.5 FM "The Game" (Columbia)
Line: South Carolina by 3.5

Tennessee Volunteers:
3-4 overall, 0-4 in SEC play

Last week:
Tennessee lost 37-6 to No. 2 Alabama

This season:
Tennessee started out with wins over Montana and Cincinatti, but have since fallen off the map in the SEC Eastern Division, losing four of their last five games, including a loss to No. 1 LSU.

Impact performer:
RB Tauren Poole hasn't had much action in Tennessee's pass-heavy offense. He's rushed for 462 yards this season and two touchdowns. With Tyler Bray out at QB with an injury, redshirt freshman Justin Worley is likely to start for the Vols this Saturday night and has yet to throw a pass in his young career, so look for Poole to get a lot more carries with such a young player at QB.

Previous four: tied 2-2
2010: South Carolina 38 Tennessee 24 (Columbia, SC)
2009: Tennessee 31 South Carolina 13 (Knoxville, TN)
2008: South Carolina 27 Tennessee 6 (Columbia, SC)
2007: Tennessee 27 South Carolina 24 (F/OT) (Knoxville, TN)

All-time series: Tennessee leads 22-5-2
In Columbia: Tennessee 8-4-2
In Knoxville: Tennessee 14-1
