After finally getting a well-deserved bye week, the South Carolina Gamecocks return to action when they welcome the Tennessee Volunteers to Columbia on Oct. 27 for the teams’ traditional date on Halloween weekend. As is fitting for the occasion, extremely weird and horrifying things tend to happen in this game. Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp also boasts some interesting voodoo over the Vols: He’s never lost to them as a coach. Can that magic continue?
Last meeting: It’s at this point that I’ve realized just how many root canal games South Carolina was involved in last season, since I think my brain sanitized most of these memories as a defense mechanism.
