Vols strip away South Carolina's comeback, survive 27-24 over Gamecocks

It was ugly. Very ugly. But the Vols came out of Neyland Stadium victorious against South Carolina.

Once again, the Tennessee Volunteers came out swinging and roared to a hot start on offense, this time against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Vols scored a touchdown on their first two possessions and led by as much as 17-0 in the first half. But in an all-too-familiar narrative, the Vols got complacent on both sides of the ball and let South Carolina back in the game, as the Gamecocks tied it up at 17 and then 24 in the second half.
