I admittedly haven't watched much of SC this season, but I don't see how you guys lose to UT. Their QB situation is in shambles, they have like half of a good WR (calloway, he's alright but nothign special) and 1 very good RB that can typically be honed in on and slowed. Their defense is average at BEST. Throw in the fact the team is practically at war with each other, the fans are pissed, everyone hates butch, and their last game was a 41-0 pummeling and I would be shocked if yall lost.

I'm sure we're all just paranoid and we will be fine

But I can't tell you how many "I don't see how they lose" games we've lost

This is the mantra of Gamecock fans everywhere. Usually those games have been UT before as well. frick Marquez North.

2013 @ Tennessee is still the toughest loss I have witnessed personally. The only thing that made that day any better is watching Clemson get crushed against FSU later that night.

Auburn 2011 for me.

We just can't come out flat in this game. If Tennessee gets a couple of stops early, their confidence will go through the roof. UGA punished them in every aspect, and it is pretty imperative that we capitalize on their demoralization early and often.

Even still, that UT team had some fight and were pretty solid (although not as good as SC, but they were adequate I mean). Although this SC team isn't 2013, this could be one of the worst UT teams in half a century. If yall win there's a real shot this team could go 5-7.

I am honestly not feeling any of this "we're going to crap the bed" vibe. I don't know what is wrong with ya'll. I have more of a "we smell blood in the water" vibe. We're playing a team that doesn't really have belief in itself. They haven't played passing style team yet. We aren't used to see our team beat down teams but it's about to happen 2 weeks in a row.

Kentucky is actually a well coached team that just has our number for some reason. They have some dbs with good length that gave us problems and they didn't make mistakes to beat themselves. UT's secondary is not very good. Evan Berry is injured for them. UT on the other hand I think is suspect to make mistakes and we excel at punishing mistakes. Also, I think we have improved a lot in the last 2 weeks in both offense and defense.

This will be another game where a team thinks they found the future of their program at QB, only for him to die out weeks later and transfer by the end of the year.
