COLUMBIA — Tennessee opened the 2020 season with a 31-27 victory at South Carolina.
Redshirt senior quarterback Jarrett Guarantano finished the contest 19-of-31 for 259 passing yards and a touchdown. He also totaled 12 rushing yards one touchdown on the ground.
Following the Vols’ win, third-year Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt discussed Guarantano’s “inconsistent” performance against the Gamecocks.
“His decision-making was good,” Pruitt told reporters on a Zoom call. “I think there were a couple times, maybe, he was confused a little bit. His decision-making was good. I know he would like to have some throws back.
“He was high on some throws, but you know what, we ain’t had hardly any wide receivers practice for a long time. We’ve got them back for the last five days. Hopefully we can clean some of this up and get our timing better for next week.”
Tennessee will host Missouri in Week 2 at Neyland Stadium.
