Gamecocks, Tigers Win

The Volunteers of the University of Tennessee were no match for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks Saturday evening as the Gamecocks totally dominated the game and won by a score of 27-6.

While Tennessee has struggled this season, South Carolina has managed to pull together its fledgling offense to strive for some balance with its nationally-recognized defense.

The Gamecocks are now 6-3 on the season.

Meanwhile, the Tigers of Clemson University went to Boston College and walked away with their 4th win of the season, a victory that would prove to be sweet to Interim Head Coach Dabo Swinney, who is attempting to salvage what he can of a near-disastrous season that has seen most of Clemson's hopes dashed.

The Tigers move to 4-4 on the season and still have an outside shot at a bowl game, although their hopes for the ACC championship have been all but doomed.

Swinney still has a shot at becoming permanent head coach at the end of this season, but he must prove he can win most if not all of the remaining games on the schedule--a very tall order.

Next Saturday the Gamecocks play host to Arkansas in another SEC matchup, and the Tigers travel to Florida State for another ACC game.
