The South Carolina football team must improve in key areas before next Saturday.
The Gamecocks dropped their season opener by a score of 31-27 Saturday night to the Tennessee Volunteers. South Carolina took an early lead on its opening drive, but the Vols would grab a 14-7 lead in the second quarter following a Henry To’o To’o pick six, and they’d not trail for the remainder of the game.
The Gamecocks continued to battle back from a two-score second half deficit, eventually tying the game up at 24 a piece in the fourth quarter.
