Henry To’o To’o discusses Vols’ defensive performance at South Carolina.

COLUMBIA — Sophomore linebacker Henry To’o To’o was a factor in Tennessee’s win at South Carolina Saturday.

To’o To’o intercepted South Carolina quarterback Collin Hill on the opening drive of the second quarter. It was his first career interception and touchdown.

Following Tennessee’s 31-27 over the Gamecocks, To’o To’o discussed how he felt the Vols’ defense played in its season-opening contest.

“I was pretty happy with the way we performed,” he said of UT’s overall defensive performance. “Of course we made a lot of mistakes, a lot of mental errors, a lot of technique stuff that we can clean up. It was a good performance for us. There’s a lot of areas we can clean up, and that’s definitely something we’ll focus on as we go throughout this week.”

Tennessee gave up 379 total yards (290 passing, 89 rushing) to South Carolina.

The Vols will host Missouri in Week 2 at Neyland Stadium. Kick off is slated for noon EDT and the contest is being televised by SEC Network.
