THE MATCHUP

South Carolina may not be very good this season, but the Gamecocks still have some very talented players, a group led by receiver Pharoh Cooper. Tennessee remembers him well after he set a program record with 233 receiving yards and accounted for four touchdowns (two receiving, one passing, one rushing) against the Vols in Columbia last season.

“We talked about it,” Vols defensive coordinator John Jancek said. “He’s a good football player. That’s the best way to describe it.”
