GoVols247: A Tennessee Volunteers athletics podcast

Tennessee fans may still be basking in the exciting, emphatic win against Third Saturday in October rival Alabama, but inside the walls of the Anderson Training Center the coaches and players for the Vols have reset to a new game week. The Vols next head to South Carolina, where promising seasons have been derailed in 1992, 2016 and 2022. Head coach Josh Heupel brought up the infamous loss at Williams-Brice Stadium four years ago to his team in their meeting on Monday.
GoVols247's Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan wrapped up some loose ends from the Alabama game, discussed Josh Heupel's QB gamesmanship on Monday when asked if George MacIntyre was the starter for the Vols and wondered how the Vols would handle the week ahead of the game against a South Carolina team coming off an open date and win at Florida.
