Tennessee set for top-five matchup versus South Carolina

Tennessee set for top-five matchup versus South Carolina.

No. 3 Tennessee will host No. 5 South Carolina Saturday.

Kickoff is slated for noon EDT at Tennessee Rugby Park.

Tennessee had an open date last week. The Vols defeated Alabama, 34-7, on Oct. 14.

“Alabama versus Tennessee is always a battle, but this year felt a little more aggressive,” Tennessee co-captain Josh Shetler told Vols Wire after the Alabama win. “We got things going early and never took our foot off the gas. Our intensity out matched them and we beat them physically everywhere on the field. Our discipline got weak a couple of times, but we’re going to use it as our motivator to get better.

“Excited to be 3-0 in conference play and look forward to South Carolina, who is also undefeated in conference play, coming to town in two weeks for a fight for first place.”
