1. South Carolina’s 15-9 win against Tennessee on Saturday was only USC’s third in Knoxville. The other two were 2011 and 2005, and the Gamecocks averaged 15 points in those three wins.
2. USC’s defense posted seven sacks, the team’s most since 2012 against Kentucky. The group also allowed 253 yards, the fewest since smothering Vanderbilt in the 2016 opener.
