Tennessee football's next game will be on ESPN.
The No. 11 Vols (6-1, 3-1 SEC) play South Carolina (3-3, 1-3) at 3:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 24 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina. When the game time was announced Oct. 12, the TV designation was either ESPN or SEC Network.
UT is coming off a 26-10 win over Alabama on Oct. 17.
South Carolina beat Florida 38-19 on Oct. 10 to give new life to coach Shane Beamer, who's presumably on the hot seat. The Gamecocks had an open week to rest and reset before hosting the Vols.
Tennessee hasn't been to South Carolina since forgettable 2022 loss
Tennessee leads the all-time series 29-11-2, but it's had rough road trips to Williams-Brice Stadium.
The Vols have won only two of their past eight games at South Carolina dating back to 2008. They've won six of eight home games against the Gamecocks during that same stretch.
The most devastating was the 2022 game. That's when UT suffered a 63-38 loss at South Carolina, quarterback Hendon Hooker suffered a season-ending knee injury, and the Vols fell out of the College Football Playoff mix.
This is Tennessee's first trip back to Columbia since that game. But the Vols won the last meeting, 41-20, at Neyland Stadium in 2023.
