It’s pretty fair to say that the Gamecocks have a been a thorn in the Vols’ side over the past few seasons. They cost Tennessee a trip to the Sugar Bowl in 2016 and came back to win a 27-24 nail-biter in Williams-Brice Stadium last year, which denied the Vols a bowl appearance in Jeremy Pruitt’s first year as head coach.
But things should be different in 2019.
