Spurrier respects Vols defense

Few teams have inflicted more misery on South Carolina in the last two decades than Tennessee.
Although this time, the Volunteers will enter Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday in a condition they haven’t experienced in that time frame. "Tennessee is a little bit in a down slump as several teams are, but we can’t worry about that much," Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier said Tuesday during his weekly press conference. "They may not be a down slump when they come in here at 12:20." Tennessee beat South Carolina 15 of the last 17 times they played. Saturday’s game will be televised by the SEC Network. The Gamecocks are ranked No. 17 and lead the SEC’s Eastern Division with a record of 5-2 overall and 3-2 in the conference. The Volunteers "have looked good at times," Spurrier said. "Their personnel on defense looks as good as anybody we have played, better than some teams."
