KNOXVILLE – Marquez North had himself an efficient Saturday afternoon.

Tennessee’s freshman receiver gained 102 yards on three receptions on separate possessions, and the Volunteers turned those drives into 13 points, including the game-winning field goal in the 23-21 upset of 11th-ranked South Carolina at Neyland Stadium.

All three catches were in traffic, and the 39- and 48-yard grabs in the fourth quarter went a long way in the Vols’ win.

“He’s made those plays since he got here,” quarterback Justin Worley said, “and to see him go out there and do it in a game and transfer it from practice against our guys and go out and have some success in games, I think you’ll see his confidence continue to grow.

“He stepped up and made some huge plays for us today.”
