The Tennessee Vols are all set to take on the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday evening.
The Vols enter the game needing to win three of their final four games to reach bowl eligibility.
South Carolina, on the other hand, must win two of their final four games to get to six wins.
Suffice it to say, it’s a big game for both teams.
The Vols were able to knock off South Carolina in Knoxville last season. However, South Carolina is once again a favorite against the Vols (6.5).
Justin Worley has been officially ruled out for Tennessee, which means sophomore quarterback Josh Dobbs will likely get the start against the Gamecocks.
Dobbs saw his first action of the year against Alabama last week and the Vol offense looked the best it’s looked so far this season.
Tennessee will once again hope that Dobbs can provide a spark for what’s been a down year offensively for the Vols.

It looks like Kyler Kerbyson will start at left tackle instead of Brett Kendrick. Other OL starters are Marcus Jackson at LG, Mack Crowder at C, Jashon Robertson at RG and Jacob Gilliam at RT.
Vols don’t start well on offense. Josh Dobbs was off target on a couple of throws and Jashon Robertson was flagged for a false start.
South Carolina gets on the board first with a Pharoah Cooper touchdown run. SC leads 7-0 in the first. The entire drive looked way too easy for South Carolina. Tennessee has definitely had a sluggish start to this game on both offense and defense.
Vols get back even after a reverse to Pig Howard. It’s all knotted at 7 in the first.
End of first quarter: Tennessee 7 South Carolina 7
Josh Dobbs and the Vols put together a nice looking drive and it’s capped off with a Dobbs keeper. Vols lead 14-7.
Cooper throws for one this time and the Gamecocks tie it up. 14-14 in the second.
Josh Dobbs, just before the half, runs it into the endzone from 36 yards out to give the Vols a 21-14 lead.

Vols fail to get points on their first possession of the half, South Carolina doesn’t fail. Gamecocks pull even. 21-21 in the third.
South Carolina puts it in the end zone to take the 28-21 lead.
